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.
