The "M" Word

Is there a word that just absolutely don't like makes you shudder and cringe every time you hear it uttered?

I have one. M-O-I-S-T.

It makes me kinda gag to type it.

If there was one word Mr. Webster could have left out of his dictionary, that was it.

Pair the "m" word with a certain ladies undergarment that begins with a "p", and I just might throw up on you.

There are several things that really stink about the "m" word:

1. It is everywhere! Case in point, see below:



Watch a cooking show--you hear the "m" word about 54 times!

2. There's just not another good way to describe cakes and breads that are not dry.

I gave my friend a loaf of apple bread I had baked. She sent me a text to say that it was "wet and delicious". God love her!

3. It's easy for my husband to use the "m" word on a daily basis.

Me:  Did the girls need their diapers changed?
Brad:  The girls' diapers were only slightly "m".

Me:  What do you think of the salad we had for dinner?
Brad:  It was so "m"!

Me:  Is it raining outside?
Brad:  It's very "m" outside.

       Ugh. Jerk! (I mean that in the nicest, "I love you very much" way possible)

What about you? Do you have an "m" word?

Funny post! Myself, I dislike the word "panties." There's just something about it that really grates on my nerves.

Too funny! I will try to remember not to use the "m" word in any comments. :)

My "m" words used to be "poo" and "poop." But now I find that I not only use those words, I write about them a lot, too. I think it's my form of therapy, because otherwise I could *not* deal with it.

Maybe you should start serving Brad dry and crunchy salad!! :)

I used to hate the word potty. I cringed when my mother asked me if I had to go potty. Now, alas, I use it with my son and my dog. Guess I've gotten over that aversion. Perhaps the common term potty-mouth desensitized me?

I share in your extreme dislike of the "m" word. Lets start a "damp" crusade. For instance, "I sure love a good, damp, blueberry scone." I think damp more than gets the point across.

Too funny! I am not a fan of moist or panties either. Not sure why some words have the power to make me cringe, but they do. :)

That is to funny. Your husband sounds like a moist breath of fresh air to my blog. As he suffers from being in an all pink house.

Too funny! Sister A has exactly the same aversion to moist (and to panties!). I am with you on the /p/ word - find it extremely derogatory for some reason. Moist, not so much. I hope you have a great day - thanks for Rewinding x
