It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

But if I have the power to make a small change at work to both be more accurate and correct a minor injustice, why the heck not?! I can't fix world hunger, but I can at least start a discussion about changing some internal terminology

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.
