I just use the word “liquidity” instead. People seem to like it better.
A simple “wet” works too.
“Umm, honey I love the turkey, it’s so wet.”
People appreciate it.
My nephew discovered this word at Thanksgiving dinner, this year, and I created his own table in the basement after the 14th use of the word I shall not repeat.
Strangely enough, "moist" evokes memories of my butt-crack's condition following a rigorous workout on the tennis court or a weight-room! Well prepared roasted turkey is juicy, not moist!
I dunno. It makes me think of Duncan Hines, which makes me think of cake, which reminds me of the old TV commercials when they cut the slice of cake with a feather. My mom wouldn't let me try it because the pigeon feather i brought in from outside was dirty. But I still love cake.
Ok but my sister did a thing where she cooked it breast side down at higher heat then flipped it over and lowered the temp at the end and it was so...uh...very not dry.
This video serendipitously came up in my YouTube feed yesterday. I personally have no problems with the word "moist" or bodily sounds. Just don't do the chalkboard or the balloons squeaking thing.
I don’t understand why people have problems with the word “moist.” You can’t have cake without it. You can’t plant flowers without it. And you don’t know when to take grandma home without it.
For my mother it was the word SUCKS. The gods love her, you could cuss like a bastard hybrid of a sailor and a trucker in front of her, you at most got an admonishment. Say the word SUCKS, and it was back in the hand.
It's like the contractor who purposefully built without floors or ceilings just so they wouldn't have to hear anyone on the construction site say "joist?" 🤫
I think this is an American thing. This childish obsession with any word vaguely sexual or excretal. For most of my life moist was a very positive word used to talk about good things like healthy soil, healthy skin, sponge cake and turkey. I refuse to capitulate to the anti moisters! Moist & proud
I'm with you on Team Moist! I'm an American but I've never understood what the issue was, either. Moist is definitely a good thing & the word doesn't even sound weird. I don't get it.
Also a great word to describe a certain type of weather!
Although ‘soft’ is better. (Maybe this is just an Irish thing).
Better than ‘damp’ anyway.
But moist is good.
Even if it's a sexual thing it's not bad they have no problem with saying things are hard that's not a bad word take that away if moist is bad hard as bad
Good point. And I may be overarching with my feminist theory here but think of who gets "moist" and who gets "hard". Is it the fact the word is related to sex or the sexuality of woman? Like girls are "ew gross."
Definitely a possibility but I think a lot of the same people who are uncomfortable with female sexuality also have a very low tolerance to life's messiness in general. They are easily disgusted by anything not clean and dry and are often discomforted by disability or racial differences etc
My mom was never any good at turkey, which is hard to cook, anyhow. Best turkeys we ever had were ones I got smoked. Seriously, if you got a barbecue place near you, get them to smoke your turkey for Thanksgiving, you will be very happy.
Far be it from me to argue against national treasure, George Takei, but can we not all agree that we've been too hard on the poor, hardworking "moist?" Sure, it can relate to something like clammy handshakes, but it can also describe cake. And cake is great!

I'm in the US and I have no problem my husband has no problem but there's people in my household that do like my son and daughter-in-law but I say if that's a bad word so is hard and thick
Personally I think it's the diphthong "oi" and the unusual ending "st" that cause Americans so many problems and therefore weird feelings. They're simply not used to being flexible with pronunciation, which leads to the feeling "this word is WEIRD".

I think it's your mind!

( also told his audience, "tax the churches")
Never realized how many people find the word awkward/unsettling.
Glad that's one phrase I never adopted! 🤣😬🤢
“Cut leg playing basketball & got pus*y”
She was a 50+ female ER doc. Oblivious to the word she wrote.
One of my colleagues pretended to cut his leg & told her he heard it led to good things😂
That was some endless fun
All for the word pus.

"This turkey is not moist!"
"It's too not moist!"
"Can a turkey be more not moist?"
Please
Be grateful for the word moist.
SHIVERS
“”Your turkey tastes like rubber”
..and how do you know what a rubber tastes like? 🤔
…which is arguably an even worse word. ☹️
Nah doesn't imply the same thing
Although ‘soft’ is better. (Maybe this is just an Irish thing).
Better than ‘damp’ anyway.
But moist is good.
Oh, and there’s also moisty.
As in: ‘misty, moisty’..

You really want that cloth moist.
💋
Unfortunately this stratagem kicks its familiar companion "tender" to the curb in the process.
Yup. I like it.
In late-2024 slang news, moist is the new fetch.
