Linguists: "Moist" makes women cringe
Ladies, what's with the lexical disgust over the M-word?
Carol Lloyd [2007-10-29]

  • Mmmmm Moist

    I am a woman. I also love plants. When you try to keep ferns alive, "moist" has very positive connotations.

    If other women have trouble with that word, I recommend they get a delicate and beautiful tropical plant. It changes everything. Really.
