English term or phrase: thought shower
The source file contains a list of strings and keywords for those strings. The main string for this term is 'Brainstorming tool' (in a software product) and 'thought shower' is one of the associated keywords (other keywords are: creativity, ideation, innovation, and imagination.) That is all the context I have, I'm afraid.

Online I found the following definition (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=thought showe...

Thought Shower

1. A form of mental urination. A slow and careful process by which idiotic ideas come into existence, often
with reference political correctness that one deems unnecessary.

2. UK Replacement for the term brainstorm which was banned from schools on the grounds that it might offend epileptics despite its positive connotation.

Thanks in advance for your time and help.

Explanation:
Jeg har hørt om folk der sidder omkring et bord for at have en "brainstorm", som så blev oversat til tankebyge....Jeg ved ikke om det hjælper.

agree  Michael Davies: Ja, tankestrøm var også min første tanke, da jeg så denne. Google viser også op mod 9.000 hits (mod kun 3.600 for tankestorm).
1 hr
neutral  Mette Melchior: Jeg opfatter en "tankestrøm" som lidt noget andet (en række mere eller mindre sammenhængende tanker fra den samme person, ikke ideudveksling som ved brainstorming). Så passer "tankestorm" vist bedre i denne sammenhæng.

brainstorm


Explanation:
Hvis ikke du allerede har "brainstorm" som nøgle-/søgeord, ville jeg nok bruge det på dansk. Det er der vist ikke noget politisk ukorrekt i.

Hvis det er til SEO-brug, ville det også give lidt bedre resultater end "tankebyge" ;-)
