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

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

"Over yonder" is a casual phrase that's used to indicate the general direction or location of a place or thing, usually accompanied by a finger pointing in a rough direction.

Not according to my mom. Growing up "over yonder" or "in yonder" was the location of the thing I needed to grab for her....no direction was specified.

"Go grab the thing for me in yonder"

"Where?"

"In yonder"

"WHICH YONDER???"
