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.

Blowing air out of your mouth, like blowing out a birthday candle, is just a DC form of talking. (self.showerthoughts)

Error being blown out of your mouth is similar to DC ( direct current ) and that it's a continuous wave of air with frequency zero. While speaking is like AC ( alternating current), a longitudinal wave that moves back and forth at a variety of frequencies.

All talking is DC, unless you also speak while breathing in.

Speech, like all sound, is a wave that moves back and forth parallel to the direction of motion. This is the context that I describe it as AC.
