Ah, so when dogs sniff each others’ butts, thats like a canine mind meld
i think you should shower less, or think less, or some combination of these two
If I shower less it’s gonna result in some really fragrant opinions.
So Im just gonna say it. This is what dogs and some animals do. Your shower thought is a metaphor to dog greetings.
No? If opinions are similar to assholes because everyone has one (with the exception of a few people who are literally born without assholes) then asking someone to ‘explain’ their opinion would be akin to asking them to either describe their asshole (possibly including, but not necessarily, its smell) or to describe the origin of their asshole depending on which version of ‘explain’ you are using.
Except it’s “opinions are like assholes, everybody has one”, they aren’t saying your asshole is an opinion.

It’s like asking them to fart in your face.
Verbal analogies aren’t mathematical formulas.
Verbal analogies
I rest my case.
And I, for one, thank G-d you did!
Metaphors were never meant to be a perfect analog in every aspect.
Oh good thing this is Shower Thoughts and not Webster’s Dictionary.
Can you describe the smell of your asshole (please)?
What about unpopular opinions? I thought all buttholes were unpopular. A term like that implies that there are also popular opinions, and therefore also popular assholes. What kind of asshole would be popular?
I thought all buttholes were unpopular.
You’re talking to the wrong guy
When someone says that something tastes like ass, they could mean that literally.
If you don’t know, you haven’t found one yet!
I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of odors I understand to be embraced within that shorthand opinion, and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so. But I know it when I smell it.
If you’re asking for a courtesy sniff, the answer is no.
I actually know two people without assholes… although they both have a tremendous amount of opinions all the same.
