moist is a dirty word

Sooo awhile back I had a conversation with a bunch of my girlfriends about the word Moist (I know, I know, I'm just getting around to chronicle our discussion).

I asked a simple question:
  • "How's the temperature in the car [aka plastic pinto]?"
And the answer I got:
  • "Moist"
What the hell am I suppose to do with that?!?!? Does that mean turn up the heat? the air? put on the defrost? roll down the windows? pull over to find a towelette? That is not a good temperature indicator.

I don't like the word Moist, it feels dirty to me (apparently I'm not the only one who think so). To some people "moist" is right up there with "stimulate" and is slowly being used less and less in the average English speaking language. Just a simple google image search reveals some porn but wayyyy too many references to "moist towelettes." Gross, who wants to use a moist towelette?? Let's just call it something else please.

Moist, not in the LL dictionary....arrrggg and swear words, yep they're there :)

PS, you won't see this on the plastic pinto....

  1. I think 'moist' and 'stimulate' are both fantastic words. I aim to use them at least once a day.

  2. See I can think of dirrrrty sentences that contain both of those words!

    PS, have you used moist yet today??? And I don't think it can be in references to food!
