RonYoungEra Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 for the past month or so, i've been intentionally using the word 'epic' to describe most everything.. completely tongue-in-cheek and i always follow it up with 'and i don't use that term lightly'.. which..in turn..by using the word until it's completely meaningless..IS, in fact, epic.

Forehead Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 It's even in video games. I still play Rome: Total War and the last defensive structure is called "Epic Stone Wall." I somehow doubt the Romans (or Persians, or Egyptians) ever used that word to describe their walls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I dislike the word "moist." Why Do We Hate the Word “Moist”? Then again, it's easy to predict that when word aversion is discussed, the patron yuck-word of the movement will be mentioned: moist. This word gets on the wick of more people than any other, for reasons that are still not entirely understood, although it seems that the main offendees are female and the main reason for their revulsion is the supposed off-the-charts ick factor of the word. Facebook groups like "I HATE the word ‘moist'," "Moist is a WRONG word," and "People who hate the word Moist!" abound. Check out these recent tweets:"thank you the word moist, for being the worst word ever. i think i speak for all americans when i say we don't want you as a word anymore." July 29, 2009, Holly Melynn "@Pandabeara EWWW MOIST. I really do hate that word. except in reference to cake." July 28, 2009, The Barron "least liked word of the day: moist... :shudders:" July 28, 2009, Amber Kochanny "#leastfavoritewords moist....that word makes me cringe" July 28, 2009, Dawn Anderson One tweeter speculates on the reason for the hate: "I don't know, it just freaks people out. I guess moist is like a porn word or something..." (July 29, 2009, Amanda Keener). Indeed, since panties is another word frequently hated, you don't have to be Dan Savage to see a sexual component in the dislike. On the other hand, the Visual Thesaurus editor Ben Zimmer has noted that other hated words such as "Ointment and goiter share the ‘oi' sound with moist: there must be something about that diphthong that gets under people's skin." Maybe he's onto something: wet, damp, soaked, drenched, soggy, and water-logged have similar meanings to moist, but they don't inspire the same kind of hostility.

Botched Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I don't mind "moist" at all, in fact it's kinda funny. "Booger" is far, far worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
