Please tell me I'm not alone, and other people can't have certain words used around them?

Oh has just used the worst one, (moist) Angry even writing that makes me shudder. It knocks me sick when I hear that word.

Oh thinks I'm going crazy and I'm trying to prove I'm not with this thread. I also can't have clocks in the house, the ticking makes me want to rip my ears off. Dickhead husband calls me Captain Hook Hmm

Why do people hate the word 'moist' so much? I have no feelings towards it, what is the big deal? Is it how it sounds or what it means? Confused

I'm intrigued too Moustache, it always features on 'Most Hated' lists but why?

Any of you moist-haters care to deconstruct it for us?

I would very much like to be enlightened. I get why people don't like hubby because I have a family member who puts at least 4 posts a day up about her amazing "hubby" and I mostly want to throttle her, so the word gives me chills.

'Moist' however, is most amusing and must be said in a high pitched shrieking voice with accusatory upwards inflection at the end for full effect, e.g.

MOIIIST?!

Don't touch the moustache.

I've no idea why it bothers me so much. Hate hearing it said and reading it.

See, I don't mind "moist" myself. It reminds me of dew on moss, fresh spring mornings, etc.

A phrase I can't stand is "for a quiet life". It's so... I don't even know. Passive? Lazy? I just picture some chump lying on a sofa while the world carries on around him/her.

Gusset, definitely. Horrid word.
BTW I do say hubby. My dad had an employee who used to say it when talking about her other half - never mentioned him by name, it was always "hubby says this.." etc. My parents thought this very naff and used to snigger about it and it became an adopted word in our house, used ironically of course.
It has occurred to me just now that people might think I use it non-ironically.Blush

I also hate "nibbles" and "afters" used in place of "pudding".

YY to panties for me and 'hun' - goes through me. My ExH used to use the word panties when getting to talk dirty and it was a total turn off.

Supper and tooth pronounced "tuth" are horrible, particularly in tuthpaste and tuthbrush. I'm from the north west and I had no idea this was a thing until I moved south. But, having said that, it doesn't seem universally common so I don't know if it is actually a southern thing or just an eccentricity of certain families.
