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

I was having this conversation the other day. Pelosi came up as a counterexample.
Now I'm not sure where the line is between subtle disrespect and simply using the more distinctive part of a candidate's name.
I do see a lot of republicans just call her “Nancy” but she definitely gets more references to her last name
Huh, I haven't really heard people call her "Nancy". Last time I recall her coming up amongst Republicans, it was "Pelosi" with a reference to the attack on her husband.
Trump called her Nancy a lot IIRC
I could never bear to watch any of his speeches. Too cringe painful.
