Silkwood shower

[Becky]

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 circumstances 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.

Silkwood has a dark, rich color and is often used in high-quality furniture, flooring and cabinetry. It is also used in the production of high-quality musical instruments and for making a variety of decorative items such as bowls, vases and sculptures.
