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.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Yeah no way hose. Changing the name here would be admitting to myself that it was a stupid nickname back then. I mean, i know it was a stupid nickname but admitting it is a step too far.

May I mention that "hose" most likely should be "Jose" spoken with a Spanish pronunciation?

I love seeing when folks type out an idiom they've only ever spoken and you get weird quirks like this. Language is fun

The epittamy of fun, you might say

Interesting. I thought he was trying to say No way, Hoss.

May I mention that I've never heard "Jose" spoken without a Spanish pronunciation? Does anyone say it to rhyme with chose or dose?

Yeah and it's not like you won't think your new original cool username is fresh af for more that 2 weeks. You'll look back and it will be equally cringy as the old one but now you have to live with the shame that you tried to be more creative.
