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 thought that's the plural genitive.

While I won't disagree, is a discussion about "y'all" really the place for a phrase like "plural genitive"? ;)

Southern US English is a language, and is therefore a proper subject for linguistics, so ... yes?
