Q: How come so many people hate the word "moist"? Is the 'oi' sound that people don't like? Cause most people don't seem to have a problem with words like choice, voice, toy, boy, etc.
A: i think most people actually do like the word. it is popular and famous for being a special and unique word. studies show that if you ask 100 people to name an interesting word, 50 of them will say 'moist'
