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.

Twix
Just call it X. If nobody understands what you are talking about, consider it a positive.
I think x works if you think of it as short for excrement
I call it: "The thing formerly known as twitter".
It's short and concise, without using the actual stupid name, meaning not advertising "The thing formerly known as twitter".
Twits for short. Just overall, forever.
Or just keep it more compact: Xitter.
Pronounced with sh.
TwitX
Personally I think X premium is a better name
Lil nas X should rename himself to Lil Nas Twitter
how about TWX?... ( pronounced ..twicks)
I will still call it twitter. I hope twitter either dies or becomes a giant nostr relay.
How about "The platform formerly known as Twitter" since the name has been changed to a nonsensical symbol instead of a meaningful word?
Hush.
