ablution
1.The act of washing or cleansing; specifically, the washing of the body, or some part of it.
2.The water used in cleansing.
The shower is a place where I do a lot of serious, deep thinking. When I am not meditating on important thoughts it becomes the place where I sing a lot of 80's hairband ballads. Just as I get to the second verse of "Here I Go Again On My Own" I can't remember if I've shampooed my hair, and I'm forced to wash or rewash it out of fear and anxiety.
It's not a proud moment in my day, but with a word like ablution at least I can feel a little smarter about it.
Real Life Usage:
"This armpit demands further ablution."
