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.

"Hey you want some potato chips?"

  • "Potato chip sounds good" => Yes please
  • "I'm good" => No thanks

Messed me up all the time first time came to the US. Why use positive response for rejection?

“I’m good” here means “My situation is good” means “I have what I need already”
