Default Do you sing in a 'thought shower'?

I thought this was a pretty funny article...

TheStar.com | Columnist | Do you sing in a `thought shower'?

Quote:
It seems the good folks of Tunbridge Wells believe "brainstorming" might be offensive to people suffering from epilepsy. So when officials now gather to generate ideas, they are engaging in the less insulting but more baffling act of "thought showers."

Why, you can almost picture bright ideas bursting from the clouds and splashing down under notional rainbows.


Not only is "thought showers" distractingly absurd as a noun, it's virtually impossible to use as a verb: "Let's gather in the conference room to thought shower some taglines for Richard Branson's new advert."(more)
