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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Stop eating your Legos.
The plural of Lego is still Lego.
Math / Maths. Legos / Lego. There’s other examples too where Bri’ish and Septic English differ on pluralisation. It’s what happens when language mutates.
According to LEGO the term "LEGO" is an adjective and therefore never plural (LEGO bricks). That being said you can't control how language develops, so lego/legos it doesn't matter as long as you're understood.
I’m glad LEGO clarified the situation and have/has an official stance. I’m with them on this. Lego, fish, sheep etc. it’s not unusual.
