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.

I'm not sure for most countries, but I know both the US and Canada protect the terms.

I'm asking because laws, especially about food, differ a lot from country to country. It's not a protected term in my country (NL), and I'm sure it isn't in most countries outside the anglosphere. Heck, sometimes the same foodstuff can be legally protected with completely different requirements, “pindakaas” (peanutbutter) is allowed to contain a boatload of palm fat but hardly any sugar in the Netherlands, it's the opposite in the US.
