Why people don't like word moist?

No one actually cares, it's just a stupid teenager/internet thing.

Hahaha! A friend in college wanted to name his band “Moist?”. With the question mark.

I exfoliate in the shower, then I use lotion to moisturize. All over my body... maximum moisture.

A moist cake is fine. Any object that is not normally moist being moist is disgusting. A moist wall. A moist chair. 🤮

Many people dislike the word moist because it has an unpleasant sound, evokes associations with damp or sweaty things, and has gained a bad reputation through social influence and media

Since nobody has really answered, I guess I will. Often, the term "moist" is used to refer to a woman being aroused. I think this has led to (childish) avoidance of the word. Much like if someone said they were going to "erect a statue". There are lots of words like this that have taken on a more sexual meaning over time. At least that's my guess.

I think it started with an episode of how I met your mother. One of the characters didn’t like the word and then the boring people who watch that show just adopted it as their own opinion.

There's a song by Dawes, "Most People" but I sing it, "moist people..."

Because they have a mental disorder , seriously. I was visiting a mate today foe their birthday and someone brought apple pie , its was awesome and it was moist!

Why would you say that?

There’s a condition called “Misophonia” where certain sounds can cause an intense emotional response including anxiety, anger and panic. The word “moist” is a common Misoponia trigger. Along with things like the sound of someone chewing, the sound of a heart beat, scratching and loads more.

Because somebody popular on the Internet said they had a mental disorder focused around the word.

Think of it like that saying about "nails on a chalkboard"! Some people just don't like the sound of certain words.

You may even say they are critical of it
