Our Opinion: Not recommended
Let's face it: people hate the word "moist". For whatever reason the word now has a stigma attached to it and every time it is spoken someone is inevitably going to mention how much they hate that word. How did you react when you saw it as the title of this blog post? Exactly. I've never met ANYONE, in all my years of life, that embraces or enjoys that word. That's not to say those people don't exist, I'm sure they do, but they are few and far between. Some people claim they like the word but often I think this is just an attempt to get attention by going against the norm: anyone can see that it makes them uncomfortable.
The good news? It is not a word that you EVER have to say, so it can be easily avoided. I've found that women in particular find this word unsettling so if possible avoid letting it slip during the courting process. Preferably you will never say it again in your everyday life. If you like to bake cakes and muffins then I'm sorry, but if you can't help describing your tasty goods as "moist" please don't subject other people to hearing the word.
