This expression comes from the actual activity of washing your body with a perforated nozzle that sprays water-- but in slang, I have heard it used after a person has heard something very uncomfortable or unpleasant -- for example, a female police officer listens to a pedophile making excuses for his crimes, and afterward, she tells her colleagues, "After I got done listening to that guy, it made me want to take a shower." In other words, it made her feel dirty or uncomfortable. I have also heard various versions of "take a shower" as in "go soak your head"-- meaning, get lost, stop talking, go away because what you are saying is ridiculous.
