Because your language is weird.

In Italian for example we say Lago di Como Mare del Nord (the North Sea) Oceano Atlantico Fiume Po (the River Po)

Same in Spanish I think

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.
