"Over yonder" is a casual phrase that's used to indicate the general direction or location of a place or thing, usually accompanied by a finger pointing in a rough direction.

Not according to my mom. Growing up "over yonder" or "in yonder" was the location of the thing I needed to grab for her....no direction was specified.

"Go grab the thing for me in yonder"

"Where?"

"In yonder"

"WHICH YONDER???"

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.
