I Have Always Hated This Word

Moist.

Isn't that just...yuk....It makes my skin crawl.

But I am not alone! There are other people as neurotic as I. Maybe we could form some weird cult around our hatred of this word. Just a thought.

AAAACCCCKKKK. Yep. I hate this word. Always have. I thought it was just me, but alas, it's not. I remember a Duncan Hines commercial once where there were about 10 versions of "moist" in it. "Duncan Hines brownies are so moist, in fact they are the moistest. They are so moist... There moistness..." It was disturbing. Thanks for sharing your pain with the world. It's how we start the healing!

@deeluxegal--"Groin" is definitely gross, but "loins" kinda turns me on. I don't know, but I might be freakish.

@noreen--hey gal! Long time, no silly chatter:) Congrats on the Wee One and say a "hi" to L. for me. And thank you for the lovely Duncan Hines memory.

Without the word moist, how do you describe cake? Or brownies?

I used to hate the word 'trousers' but I got over it when we lived in England. They laugh at you if say pants.

How about "delightfully spongy"? Or "tender"? Or...I need a thesaurus.

I have to agree with zerd that 'moist loins' is several degrees less gross than 'moist groin'.

How about 'chewy' or 'dense' for baked goods? Or 'damp'? Now THAT sounds delicious.
