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  | ||

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. (Apologies for dragging out this conversation further) | ||

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