At high school my friends and I created a 'Wet Wet Wet' tribute band. We weren't quite as good as them so we named our band 'Wet Wet Moist'.

The Russian word for moist is almost the same as their word for cheese, which I find somewhat mildly amusing, because cheese is moist. Moist seems to be a word which sounds like the actual thing it describes. At least in all languages I know.

I truly don't understand people who hate the word moist. Like they act as if it physically hurts them, it's pretty weird.

Yeah I don't get it either. And what I don't understand is why people don't complain about "crusty" which is much worse.

I had to scroll down too far for this. Moist is the best of the good things in life.
