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 mean, other than trying to make a lame joke/troll instead of an actual showerthought, rotund is a damn nice word. It's the visual equivalent of onomatopoeia. Kind of like lanky, or glint, it's a word that sounds like it looks.
Hey, Bobby, did you see that rotund hedgehog at the fence today?
What, Ron Jeremy is back in town?
No, jackass, the little erenaceid critter with a round, spiny body and a cute face
Well, I didn't see that, but I did once see Ron Jeremy banging some coke head that had a silver and jeweled buttplug in, she was lanky, manky, and that plug glinted in the camera lights.
Why are you obsessed with Ron Jeremy, Bobby?
What? You're the one that brought him up in some weird example to explain the visual onomatopeia, not me.
I didn't fucking bring up Ron Jeremy!
He's the hedgehog, everyone thinks of him when they hear that word, that's just a fact.
Fuck you, Bobby, fuck you.
see on one hand i like that is sounds like what it is, on the other hand i hate the way it sounds. sounds the same as melamine foam does. grinds my gears
Would you say it rustles your jimmies? Words matter, you know.
doesn't rustle my jimmies, no
Hey, got you talking didn't ya.
