Moist.

[TPD]

The word moisture was used in another thread and it reminded me of this....

Just in the last couple of months, I have run across a person who gags every time the word "moist" is said. Is this a thing? Or is it just strange people I hang out with that this bothers? Are there other normal words that gross people out regularly that I am not aware of? I just shake my head over this. Now its a game to try to incorporate the word "moist" in conversation with this person to watch them start gagging!

My autistic son can't stand when i say "okay". That moist gagger should probably see a hypnotist.. sounds like she's susceptible to hypnotism. might be how she learned that gag reflex.

I don't get it either. It's not like saying smegma, anal discharge or something similar.

If I may ...

It's what she said.

Ugh! Add 'gland' to the list. The first time the vet said my kitty needed her anal glands expressed I vomited in my mouth a little.
