I mean, other than trying to make a lame joke/troll instead of an actual showerthought, rotund is a damn nice word. It's the visual equivalent of onomatopoeia. Kind of like lanky, or glint, it's a word that sounds like it looks.

Hey, Bobby, did you see that rotund hedgehog at the fence today?

What, Ron Jeremy is back in town?

No, jackass, the little erenaceid critter with a round, spiny body and a cute face

Well, I didn't see that, but I did once see Ron Jeremy banging some coke head that had a silver and jeweled buttplug in, she was lanky, manky, and that plug glinted in the camera lights.

Why are you obsessed with Ron Jeremy, Bobby?

What? You're the one that brought him up in some weird example to explain the visual onomatopeia, not me.

I didn't fucking bring up Ron Jeremy!

He's the hedgehog, everyone thinks of him when they hear that word, that's just a fact.

Fuck you, Bobby, fuck you.

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. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
