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.

I feel like saying the full thing relieves some of the stress caused by said unfucked shit

There are studies, I think, about swearing out loud actually reducing the subjective feeling of pain or discomfort

There's also a correlation with the sounds of said swearwords. Which tent to be more sharp and concussive. That's why "Fuck that shit" feels better than "Damn this mess"
