Silkwood shower


a silkwood shower is a very long, hot shower taken to disinfect and decontaminate oneself from environmentally acquired smells such as smoke or food.

the term stems from the name karen silkwood. she was a chemical technician who died under mysterious circ-mstances after raising issues of contamination at the plant where she worked.

in 1983 a movie named silkwood was released which starred meryl streep, kurt russell, and cher. there is a decontamination shower scene in that film which is the basis for the term being coined.
i had to take a silkwood shower when i got home from that party since i smelled like an ash tray cooked on a open flame bbq grill covered in hot sauce.
