I don't know, I've always liked "pugilist."

And I guess Betty Crocker is going have to change their packaging...

[Old Professer]

Dammed scoldroons, squallop the lot of them and plish the dregs, flush to froth.

[Cyber Ninja]

Kentucky phoebes?

Adding onto the above bizarreness, a significant number of women claim an aversion to moist, yet moisture and moisturize remain perfectly acceptable judging by the advertising for beauty products. I remain perplexed.

I dislike "Maoist."

“Moist” is a very good descriptive word. Such as “It was hot,and moist”

You know what all this moisture leads to don’t you? Chafing.

What the heck is with people who try to control words? Seriously... And, how come all the hippies who claimed to be raising children who embraced freedom have instead raised an entire generation of control-freaks???

[Allegra]

Good grief - why are these people even being taken seriously?

People need to get a grip. If something "offends" them, they need to reckon with it and move on.

How arrogant is it to expect to modify an entire language just because the sound of one or two of the words "offends" someone?

Crybabies.

[Fresh Wind]

The pseudo-word I hate the most is “prolly”.

[paulycy]

I get it now. If a word evokes a feeling of discomfort or reminds you of something distasteful, then ban the word so you don’t have to feel uncomfortable anymore.

Why don’t we ban the word pain and call it “urgent bodily feedback.?”

Yeah. That’ll work. :0/

[Kozak]

I think they are just being niggardly.

[csvset]

I searched for images with the tag moist.

I was expecting something pornographic in nature.

I found this instead.

What a disappointment.

[Larry Lucido]

Sounds like they’re acting a bit niggardly.

I remember hearing Linda Carter say "moisterizer" in some television ad in the 80s and thinking it was a funny word, the way she was pronouncing it. She would push "moist" up through her nasal cavity somehow and finish "erizer" through her mouth. Eventually it got annoying. But should the word be banned? Give me a break.

O holy government, guardian of the words and thoughts of the masses.

"Uh huh heh huh, you said 'moist.'"
