Hi,

What does 'shake a shower' mean as in 'Would you like to shake a shower?" Does it mean the same thing as 'take a shower'?

It's hard to say whether this is just a typographical error or an intentional change from "take a shower" to "shake a shower." Where did you find the quotation? Is it a song lyric?

Thank you , CP, for your help.

I listened to this song here: http://www.xiami.com/song/play?ids=/song/playlist/id/1024694/object_name/default/object_id/0
It's again Bob Dylan's song--Motorpsycho Nitemare. I think Bob Dylan sang 'shake a shower' instead of 'take a shower', though I knew a lot of online lyrics run the version of 'take a shower'.
If you don't mind and have time, please listen to it carefully and you'll find out. Thanks!
