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!

Is this a thing?

Yes.

The Science Behind Why People Hate the Word 'Moist'

You may think you detest the word ‘moist’ because of the way it sounds, but research indicates that that’s not the full story.

It conjures up images of armpits and crotches.

A lot of people dislie that word for some reason, but when I hear it, I think of chocolate cake...

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.

At least you are making the moistest out of a potentially sticky situation.
