Culture Buzz When someone asks “what word can't you stand?”, a staggering amount of people reply with “moist”. GOOD investigates why. What word makes you feel like you've been aurally abused?

Foibles, trickling, suave, mushy (and, of course, moist).
Quench. Morsel. Piping-hot. Lush.Dollop.
Plug. It's just ew.
“Moist swollen panties”. I bet you can't say that 5 times fast.
'Moist' makes me cringe for some reason. I hate the word 'meal' too.
Oxt.
“special” when applied to metally challenged kids. It seems condecending
Even though I'm a woman, you'll never hear me describe anything as “divine,” “marvelous,” or worse, “fabulous,” or as it's more commonly said “faaabulous.”

I don't like the word “solutions.” That goes double when it's part of some business name or used to describe a company. There are a few other words that make me inexplicably angry when I hear them but thankfully I cannot think of them right now.

SWOLEN

There was also a Canadian alt rock band in the 90s called Moist. Had the exact same effect. Like I was being ear-fucked.
SEEPAGE.
