    Nothing wrong with that word, it’s just a weird Internet bandwagon thing like pineapple on pizza

      I’ve found that the reaction to the word “moist” is highly dependent on the context. For example, a cupcake described as moist sparks a feeling of deliciousness, while some potting soil described as moist gives me a sense of completeness or stability (plants typically need moist soil to grow, so it’s a good thing). However, a bus seat described as moist triggers a feeling of revulsion.

      Context is key.

        That is a reasonable way of looking at it. The Internet way of looking at it though, is to freak out any time the word is used.
