A term derived from the graduate working group of a professor at a research-one university in Southern California. A shower sentence refers to the "take-home" message of a text. A good shower sentence is characterized by one's ability to easily recall the main point of an article or other piece of literature--so good that even when waking up and barely conscious in the shower, one is able to remember the main point clearly.

A roller-coaster sentence is a sentence that contains words that are random, controversial, or crazy. These words can be anything with no limits, containing racist words or politics.

Picture a plain, generic roller-coaster. Usually, the tracks contain loops or segments that rise up and fall down. These "loops" would be the words in a roller-coaster sentence, as each word is a large loop.
roller-coaster sentence examples:
"Nigga sex frisbee".
"Mass Shootings are lovely and inspiring."
"Shit, meatspin's got my asshole on the hook."
"Cunt nigger trash."
"That gay nigga Jesus just fingerbanged me in a bowling alley in front of my step-sister, who masturbated on the spot."
