So is rhotacism (inability to pronounce "R"). Funnily enough, it also has the "R" sound in Ukrainian (картавість - Cyrillic "р" corresponds to the rolling "R" sound) and Russian

As a Russian who cannot roll the R I feel the burn every time.

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.
