People are COMPLETELY overreacting to this word. A member of my family hates the word “moist” and this has spawned a lot of family jokes as some of my family (me included) would casually tease this person and even teach my nieces and nephews to say “moist” out loud. It’s all just tough love and the lesson here: Moist is NOT a cuss word nor a suggestive or crude reference. It is an adjective used to describe something that is wet or damp.
There's a lot of people that might feel the need to google moist. From outsiders that speak a language that's not English (Yes, those exist), to people that want to be sure how to properly write it (Some could be unsure if it's moist or moyst for example), or even people that want to search it as an adjective like 'How to make a moist cake', or .
FBI please stop looking at my search history. I swear it was my brother who was the one who was looking that up not me. I'm innocent I tell ya, innocent!
I think the mainstream media made the word "moist" unpopular depicting it disgusting in various TV shows. I personally don't have a problem with the word moist, and the first time I heard that certain people don't like it, I kept wondering why!
I don't think it's disgusting or hate it but "moist" fits it's definition so well. The way it sounds and the movement of your mouth/tongue/lips you make in order to pronounce it, it's just so fitting.
Please make a video on how to get rid of the irritating effect occurring after constantly hearing the word "M.O.I.S.T" in a Tech Insider video! Huh, what did I just write?
its 100% a fad - the word has never bothered me. Its like the social media psychological phenomenon where one celebrity disses something, we all love to hate the same thing so we feel connected to them. "Like OMG so-and-so from this movie totes hates this word. How crazy that I do too!"
It never bothered me in the slightest. In fact, I've only started hearing about aversion to the word in the last year or so. Never heard a peep about anyone bothered by it in my previous 40 years. I think someone just made this up and people being the sheep they are, just followed along.
I like the word ✨M O I S T ✨ it’s uncomfortable and satisfying at the same time, but most of the time I be laughing at it.. my parents seem a little disappointed at me for laughing too damn hard😂
It's not the word itself that bothers me It's who says it, what context and how awkward they make it sound. There's also the factor of a perfectly platonic A and B conversation, but then C bumps in and makes thinks awkward when they start talking about why we shouldn't use the word Moist.. Like excuse me.. Were we talking to you? Go somewhere.. The only grungy things about this video was the sound effect that came with moist (reminded me of mayonnaise and jello) and when they clearly stated the truth as to why everyone feels awkward with the word.. Also It really bugged me that they used Mosit to try and make people uncomfortable without even explaining the 'science' of it. I already knew it didn't take science to know but gosh. I expected silly data to come with it..
Road to 100 subs with one video. There was a ted talk on this, about the evolution of language, how it changes. For smell, it was 'odour' that became negative many years ago, now 'smell' is becoming negative. 'Aroma' is still positive though :) So basically, you're not just imagining this.
Abiyyi Ramadhan Haha, I think the point is until the word is socialised in those contexts, it doesn't really fit the scenario, so it won't ruin the word for a long time to come. Good example though
Bluudclaat I know... Sadly, the only reason my point is invalid is the word "aromatherapy" :( DAMN YOU, AROMATHERAPHY, FOR GIVING POSITIVE CONNOTATIONS!
TL;DR: i basically said what the vid said but read if you want. i feel that most of the uncomfortable feeling you get from the word moist is because of its definition being often associated with words like damp, soggy, and wet. Without context the mere mention of the word can bring up the worst things to get moist like jeans, shoes, socks, shirts, the insides of gloves, sweat, etc... if the word moist had no literal meaning it would end up as a funny sounding made word like blarg
I honestly don't understand why people hate the word moist... It's literally just a normal word ... And every time I say that I don't hate the word moist they're like oh so you like it ... but it's like no it's just a word
moist don't affect me. however, thinking of kiwi used to give me strong reactions. i always gets chills down my spine whenever I imagining eating kiwi. the word itself dosn't really affect me. I'm not feeling it any more, since I don't remember how it tasted.
I don't have a problem with moist but I kind of have trypophobia so I hate the phrase "cluster of holes." Idk why but I also hate it when people say shoulder blade...
