What is the difference between a bath and a shower in the way that americans use the word?

Shower implies standing under a stream of running water while you bathe.





Bath means sitting in a tub of standing water while you bathe.What is the difference between a bath and a shower in the way that americans use the word?
Joey got it right. As a bit of extra information, very few Americans seem to take baths these days. We usually shower instead because it's so much faster. People ALWAYS run a tub or basin full of water (a bath) for infants and children, but most adults seem to prefer showering. Because of this, it is considered a luxury to fill up a tub of nice hot water and have a soak in it... a luxury of time.What is the difference between a bath and a shower in the way that americans use the word?
The difference is usually about $5. American motels usually charge more for a room with a bath than a room with a shower.
It depends on what part of the country you are from. I live in NC. Taking a shower is standing up under running water. Taking a bath is seating down in a bath tub of water.
With a bath, you wash your face with the same water you wash your butt with, but this doesn't happen in the shower.
Bath is when we sit in a tub (bubbles optional) and we bathe ourselves.





Shower is when we bathe standing up.
a bath means u fill the tub with water and a shower means u use the top sprinkler thingy
