Side note: It's also called Parizer in reference to Paris, the city that is neither Bologna, nor Lyon, another french city which would be the actual origin of the sausage.

Baloney is a valid spelling though. And, yes, I think I'd look at someone very strangely who pronounced the city this way. And generally, your instincts turn out to be correct in these things. I highly doubt that the proper pronunciation of the city is "boloney".

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
