http://www.indy.com/posts/6942 en-us hobohoges From what I have noticed in my life and my friends "moist" tends to bother women more than men. Just my observation. I tend to hate missuse of words more than hold a grudge against any one or two words for what they are.

I will never forget as a young child thinking that Crisco would be good by the spoonful. The result, lard and phlegm. Disgusting! Discuss....

Its the one scene in horror movies I get the most effected by.

I've had the same experience, although I don't think I harbor as much hate towards the word as you do. If you stare at any word for too long it just doesn't make sense any more. I also despise "LOL", although it is a handy comment, so I despise myself when it's the only phrase I can come up with to use.

I just start looking at it differently, and I start to hate it.

Not sure why. Thu, 10 Apr 2008 14:42:44 -0400 http://www.indy.com/posts/6942#comment_20232 http://www.indy.com/posts/6942#comment_20232 John Hawn Actually, "musty" has strange connotions to me. But "moist," I like it. Thu, 10 Apr 2008 13:48:49 -0400 http://www.indy.com/posts/6942#comment_20225 http://www.indy.com/posts/6942#comment_20225 Marley Really? That word doesn't give you the creeps? I guess it's the same as BoilerGirl with panties, I just don't like it.

I'm not intolerant, just appreciate diction and pronunciation and work on it myself! Word that bothers me to say for no reason: panties.
