My cousin Donald now goes by his middle name.
His quote: "man, fuck that yankee piece of shit."
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.

Ima start calling him that lol
Sadly, half of voting Americans think you're a fascist, Chinese bot.
Or a woke commie queer groomer in drag.
~~half~~ 1/10th of voting Americans.
Eligible, not voting. It's roughly 1/3 of voting folks are maga.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
EVERYONE here has the internet, yet 4 wrong answers before this...!!!
maga is 1/10th of voting Americans?
Why not both?
I mean, I can be a woke queer, fascist, Chinese groomer in drag that's a bot, can't I? It's a free country ;)
Trump isn't a proper representation of a New Yorker. I doubt he even likes baseball.
Yankee is a nickname for all Americans in the rest of the world.
I still don't understand how a bunch of Southern, trailer park rednecks who hate new York city rich people, decided that a Manhattan millionaire was the guy to vote for. Why do they think he's anything like them or has why idea how they live? He's literally a northern, cartoonish carpet bagger.
for some reason Donald Trump doesn't go in the category of "people named Donald" in my head. like Tom Cruise, he's not a Tom, or a Thomas, he's always Tom Cruise.
when I hear somebody else's first name is donald, it doesn't make me think of him
Not at this time, but if he were to create such damage that it impacts a generation and unanimously agreed as a villain then at that point the name Donald will be associated with him. Ex: the name Adolf is associated with Adolf Hitler.
Donald as a baby name has been steadily dropping in popularity since at least 2000.
You need to search here (can't directly link the result):
My link was bad. This should be closer.

It quickly reversed in 2022. More likely a statistical anomaly. Why not go up in 2016 to 2020?
Hey, whoa! C'mon now. We don't know that's yhe reason. Retro cartoons are on the rise. So much so that MeTV just launched a retro cartoons network called "MeToons".
How do we know it's not because of Donald Duck????
I don't think people 20+ years from now will instantly jump to Trump when they hear Donald. Just like how if you meet George you don't think of Bush.
Yeah, Adolf really doesn't bring anyone notable to mind.
Trump may be a very poor candidate, but he didn't kill 13 million people.
1: Yet.
2: That isn't even the sum of the Holocaust, much less combat casualties from the USSR alone which are absolutely on his head.
Edit: Tbf, the Holocaust numbers only beat that if you include Soviet POWs being genocided in the prison camps, so that is kind of double dipping.
Let him have another term and we'll see how he measure up. And he's up to a few 100k so far in my books.
Not yet. He's certainly working on it.
It was a perfectly good name until that no-talent ass-clown ran for president.
Nice. Office Space reference.
Why should I change my name, he's the one who sucks
Remember when Khaleesi was a popular name?
Which I never understood. Khaleesi was her title, not her name.
ItΒ΄s equivalent-ish to naming a kid King or Czar or something.
It's even worse, because my understanding is that "Khaleesi" doesn't actually mean "queen", but would more accurately mean "concubine/wife of the king/khal". I believe the queenship is only implied after the death of the khal.
Not really implied by the term itself, since after the death of the khal the khaleesi are basically exiled to the capital. Daenerys only brought greater meaning to the title when she used it in her conquests.
My niece named her daughter after Bella from Twilight. At least her full name is Isabella, but the inspiration is there.
Tell her to tell people she's named after the Phineas and Ferb character. There's zero down side.
A lot of us jumped on the fad of naming our daughters after Game of Thrones characters, especially the ones popular in the earlier seasons. And then D and D came along as show runners, and fucking wrecked everything for our baby girls. So Hodor, I regret getting sucked into that show and hope you'll forgive me one day.
Reminds me of that other name that kind of just withered away. What was it?
Oh yeah...
Adolf.
They'll make lovely couples with the girls named Khaleesi
Why though? Glover is cool.
Heβs not too happy that his parents named him βDon Gloverβ (dong lover) though.
I feel bad saying it but a lot of them probably aren't vaccinated, so
There were a lot of German boys called Adolf back then...
