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.

It would be far more consistent with the pronunciation of other similar words.

A choir is a chorus of singers.

It comes from the Greek root khoros.

Although it comes from the old French word, quer, its roots are more in the present spelling.

Quer, not to be confused with those that make up a choir, queers.

And see, this it's why it's choir.
