When Kurt Andersen became the editor of New York Magazine, he banned a list of “annoying words” for his writers. At 32, I shared this list on Cup of Jo, adding my own despised word: moist.
Moist? It used to sound unpleasant, even off-putting. But as culture has evolved (thanks, Broad City!), words like moist, wet, and damp have taken on new, warm meanings to me.
How do you feel about these words? Share your thoughts below.
