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.

I have 4 kilts and wear them to work when I want to, almost as a dare to management so I can retire off a lawsuit. Utilikilts and Verillas have great kilts with pockets for workin' men that like a pretty skirt.
I wanted to buy one. Friend of mine intervened cause I'm not Scottish and It'd be cultural appropriation. It's she right? Or is she left?
Today's kilt today was invented in the 1720s by the Englishman Thomas Rawlinson.
Your friend doesn't sound very supportive. It shouldn't be a problem to wear a kilt, I own three and they're great when it's warm. ... Just not great when it's windy 👀.
I live in Scotland and I'd say, go right ahead. Scots aren't precious about the kilt at all, not like the diaspora. You don't even have to go with tartan!
