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.

For me, the wor in worship sounds like "were" (eg. they were naked), and the war in warship sounds like "wore" (eg. they wore clothes).

Maybe this is what OP means. Warship is pronounced wor-ship (And Worship is pronounced wer-ship)
