That reminds me that my sixth grade teacher was adamant that 'I am going over Steve's house" meant that one was visiting the house, not flying over it.

I like learning french because it shows me how weird the connections to english are.

"Chez Steve" means "At Steve's [place]". This one is more verbose in english.

But you can say "chez moi" for "at home". And no need to specify which home.

That's exactly my point.

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.
