Perhaps you’ve met my sister – those are 2 of her squick words, the other being. . .
Say any of these 3 words in her presence and she gets completely repulsed.
When I first read the OP and noticed the location, given that my sister also lives in the L.A. area, my first thought was that she could very well be the caller in question. I may have to ask her. Of course doing so would send her into convulsions. Hmmmm, perhaps I’ll give her a call.
i know a lot of girls who get cringy at moist (most of them use wet to describe sexual arousal). Panties on the other hand seems to be more in contention. It seems like every woman has a preferred term for undergarments and that pretty much every other word you can describe them with is “oogy”.
I’ve heard “Quit your grinin’ and drop your linen” as an eloquent alternative.
As for myself, I can think of no situation where the terms “female”,“moist” and “panties” would apply was ever anything but a positive experiance. I love those terms myself.
I’ve never had a problem with moist. My 30 year old daughter absolutely hates the word, even when it refers to food. Turkey can be tender and juicy, but if we say it’s moist, she practically has to stop eating. We’ve learned to refer to cake as “good” or “not dry.”
