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
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I once saw sweet n sour sauce in a French supermarket, "sauce aigre-doux"
I looked up aigre to see what it meant and right enough, it just means sour.
At that point it clicked that French for wine is "vin" so sour wine is vin aigre
Or vinegar
