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

Believe it or not, sexism!
They usually place the man's name first and then only pass on those names.
We just made up portmanteau names for our kids, based on what sounded good. Over time, this should improve the overall coolness of last names.
So if you portmanteau four hyphenated names you'd have quite an awesome mouthful.
Example based on some names I've encountered...
Garcia + Roothopper + Nishigawa + Smith = Garhopgawaith? Nishciasmithopper? Smootgawacia?
