I don't see anything wrong with moist. I find it pretty funny to hear or pronounce.

From the article:

Many people report that they find words like “moist,” “slacks,” and “luggage” acutely aversive.


What the heck is wrong with these people >.> You're not making sounds/ syllables that are particularly rare or weird. I think this aversion to saying certain words- especially moist- was more of a fad/ meme a year or two ago, and now people still think they're supposed to dislike "moist" but not really remember why.

Monkey see, monkey do. Or should I say, Monkey sees popular disapproval of particular word sounds, monkey do

Handcuff? They can attach the other handcuff to the belt or some other part of the body, I suppose.

Instead of doing a hand/hand thing, you do a hand/abdomen thing

People get angry over moist? As a non-native speaker I must have missed something here... Or the people you are talking about are strange.

People that get annoyed over small things are often actually annoyed at something else in their life, and just need to vent.


I think that it's actually a thing. Moist and flesh are probably my two most disliked words in the little bit of time I spent with my ex in Chapters, while she was reading erotica to me.

I don't really know why, but when I hear those words, it makes my body feel like if a blackboard was being scratched. It's not like people get mad or angry, it's a similar feeling as if someone tells you they just got back from the bathroom since they had diarrhea.

So anyway, it is a thing for sure, and I'm not even originally from Canada.

Thanks.
I can see how the connotation in erotica is different, but things like "the soil is moist", does that also sounds bad? Because it makes you think of your ex's erotica? Well anyway, if that's how you feel that's right of course. I just can't really grasp it myself. It does have a bit odd phonetic sound maybe...

Is it only said out loud, or do you feel uncomfortable seeing it in writing as well? We could follow you all the way through the forums and reply to your posts, subtly dropping those words in every reply.


I think when I read it, it's probably due to remembering its prior uses. Anyway, I don't want to exaggerate it, when I hear it, I don't go make a big deal of it. But it doesn't sound so strange when you look at the opposite of how a lot of people like pronouncing Italian words because they are "fun" to say.

Perhaps an example that more people can relate to is something like:

Vagina vs Pussy and Penis vs Dick vs Cock etc... Obviously it's a somewhat different context, but if you watch an adult video, sometimes the terms that are used just make you shrivel a little bit to the point of wanting to mute the people talking. Anyway, it's certainly not very rational, but people aren't either, especially with their emotional response to things.

Slowly, and deliberately, not making any sudden movements.

What are the best/ your favorite Nintendo 3DS games?

I'm looking to buy a few. I found a bunch of lists online but I figured some TLers might have recommendations too.
