All these “moist” voters have clearly forgotten “irregardless” exists

testsubjectzeta.bsky.social•1 day ago

Came here with my "moist" vote.

I’ve embiggened your subscriber count. I find it a perfectly cromulent page.

michellelvisser.bsky.social•1 day ago

How could it be anything other than “MOIST”?

zoesamuel.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thank you. It is obviously "moist".

It's not even close.

bluntzkrieg420.bsky.social•1 day ago

Are there some words you keep in the back of the store for like friends and family only

3athalete.bsky.social•1 day ago

My guess for the worst word is my favorite word: irregardless.

larryenright.bsky.social•1 day ago

Fun fact: I also have a YouTube channel, and if I reach 100,000 subscribers, I'll announce the worst word for you, or most any word, for that matter. 🤪

water-moon.bsky.social•1 day ago

Literally the worst word is literally, when it's used to mean figuratively. Just like inflammable = flammable. Language is supposed to make communication EASIER and more understandable, not less.

Also, I YT sub'd y'all, good luck!

Alexis, you pettifogging frippet!

faeriedogmother.bsky.social•1 day ago

Also: I subscribed 😉 I really need to know what the worst word is. Is it moist? It’s moist, isn’t it?

windwillowing.bsky.social•1 day ago

I came here to say it's probably moist lol

callinanv.bsky.social•1 day ago

"Prick of a Pestidigitator" sounds like Donald Trump making food affordable for Americans.

msdodgrblu.bsky.social•1 day ago

The worst word is “warfighter.” Though “moist” is down there too.

msdodgrblu.bsky.social•1 day ago

(Except I guess it has to be a real word to be the worst.)

janfreeman.bsky.social•1 day ago

There is no such thing as a "worst word." This is hardly the time to embarrass yourselves, Merriam-Webster, by spreading ignorance and prejudice.

atomictimmy.bsky.social•1 day ago

The worst word would be worst. Then again, it could be worse.

nothankyoupaige.bsky.social•1 day ago

Bucolic. What a misnomer. Sounds like bubonic colic.

joetheobscure.bsky.social•1 day ago

Just subscribed. You are at 73.4K subscribers.

smitaiyer.bsky.social•1 day ago

is it boss? if boss made the cut, synergy and moist are shaking

sciwhat.bsky.social•1 day ago

My worst word of late: conversate/conversating. The hell is wrong with just saying conversing, discussing or talking?! Someone actually said conservating in a meeting I was in. They also love the word ideate. I just cannot with business/management jargon. Utilize instead of use? Nope.

sciwhat.bsky.social•1 day ago

And OMG: reach out. No thanks. I still like plain ol’: contact.

yadamy.bsky.social•1 day ago

There have to be legions upon endless legions of categories for “the worst word.”

You’ll just string us along. 🤨

ward-hyphen.bsky.social•1 day ago

The dictionary has a boss? Who would that be?

dannikadark.net•1 day ago

moist.

binkythebomb.bsky.social•1 day ago

Surely that word is 'Worst.'

refinedmayhem.bsky.social•1 day ago

I just subscribed to your YouTube account. And you’re now over 76,000 subscribers. With a bullet. 🏹 Tell your boss to get ready. ⚡️💥🎯

madsam813.bsky.social•1 day ago

Just subscribed, and on the edge of my seat!

saltylibpdx.bsky.social•1 day ago

The worst word is moist. Full stop.

notonebit.com•1 day ago

I thought it was crusty

saltylibpdx.bsky.social•1 day ago

Okay that too🤣🤣

rachellaing.bsky.social•1 day ago

On pins and needles to find out whether it's "moist" or "engorged."

luciusearn.bsky.social•1 day ago

Do a segment on words that pertain to greatness and influential affluence

“The”

wholenotes.bsky.social•1 day ago

Comingle. Why put a prefix on a word that is the definition of the prefix….and then use it in finance. Why? And why aren’t you also mad about it Marian-Webster? I worry about your moral core.

dhaustin.bsky.social•1 day ago

Have you folks ever had a throw down with Britannica.

I'd pay to watch that
