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.

Wait til you hear what Arnold Schwarzenegger's last name means

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's Schwarzen/egg/er, not Schwarze/negger.

A Schwarzenegger is someone from Schwarzenegg, which is a village name.

The egg root means "ridge" in old German, and is cognate to modern German Ecke meaning "corner" and to English "edge". It's not directly related to the English word "egg", which is Ei in German. And it certainly has nothing to do with the Latin word meaning "black" (matching Schwarze, which means "black" and relates to English "swarthy").

Schwarzenegg is the village named for a black ridge, or black edge.

I seem to remember an interview that he did years ago (on the old Arsenio Hall Show), where Arnold stated his last name meant "Black Farmer". If I can find a clip, I'll come back and edit this comment with it.

Also black black?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Oh...yeah. haha. That's so weird I never made that connection even though I know the word noir translates to black.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Schwarzenegger is basically two words for black fused together.
