Have you ever bitten into a road apple?
People come up with funny names for things sometimes.
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.

OMG I love road apple pie!
That one's a euphemism, though. I don't think it counts. That's not the real name that normal (non-horse-people, all horse people are abnormal; I know, because I married one) use.
I thought it was more "apples of the Earth", n'est-ce pas?
Yup, pommes de terre. In Dutch is "aardappel", which is more literally earthapple. But I will add, the apple part isn't referring to the fruit, but means more like "a spherical object".
Also the French used aardappel to create the word pomme de terre for it in 1716, as they couldn't pronounce the Dutch word.
Herdöpfel (stove/cooking apple) in Swiss german. Kartoffel in germany. Guess there's some variety, since it's a relatively new crop.
Actually sounds like you've never had a fresh potato, pulled right out of the ground and eaten on the spot
I have never. Do they taste like apples?
No not at all but a good one has a nice crunch to it, kinda like a water chestnut, and they can make a nice snap sound like an apple
eighty potatoes ..... french translation -> ... "quatre-vingts pommes de terre" (four twenties of earth apples)
They do make an apple sound when you crunch or slice them so i can see the link
