set my meat thermometer to "Ben Shapiro's Wife"

So... Shoe leather it is.

One of my sons used to like to say " moist towelette"

BAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAA

As for me, I will never forgive this word 😂

Hahaha

I personally find that tying the legs together keeps it moist inside.......... GAAAAHHHHhhhhhhh!!!!!!

I love hearing how moist my meat is.

Not a fan of the word. 👀

Only thing that's moist as it should be is cake.

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.

But a moist turkey is a must

Oh lord, George. You didn't

Hilarious 😂

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.

Normalize the usage of this word!

lol. I know people who collapse in horrified shivers when they hear the word

I kinda love it.

Haha!

Cept now everyone will be saying "Oh, it could have been a little more moist!"

Wordle got me today, not Foist. Went for Moist, when I know, they have never ever in the history of wordle used Moist. It was Joist 🤦‍♀️

Spoiler alert necessary, please

Oops I forgot I’m a day ahead. Won’t happen again.

You might want to look at this Mr Takei. bsky.app/profile/geor...

He's sending people private messages to get whatsapp numbers from them.

But what about Moist von Lipwig?

Probably better to pronounce it as if it were French. 🥸

So it's "your turkey is not moist" .How did that help? Cook ham instead.

I like to watch them all say MOIST!! Lol

I blame Eddie.

what's the dirtiest part of your body? I think it's your mind! Frank Zappa ( also told his audience, "tax the churches")

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!

Think the word had been normalized for me as a child from my father saying "I'm moist" when something was exciting. Never realized how many people find the word awkward/unsettling. Glad that's one phrase I never adopted! 🤣😬🤢

lol 😂

Moist hoist joist I don’t understand how the word is an issue when the others aren’t

In my opinion, there are more everyday situations where moist is better than dry. The word is too much maligned.

Tf man… 😂😂

Totally not a sociopath who only likes to hear words like dry, crunchy, tough, and hard to chew. 🙄

Depends on what is moist

I've never been able to comprehend why people dislike this word. So how would you characterize a cake that isn't dry?

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.

Flaccid isn’t

I bought a butterball turkey just so that I could hear the word moist

I would undercook them so nobody would come to my house anymore.

It's a cringey word. Like pus.😬

The funniest MD note I’ve seen “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. #EDNurse #EDHumor

I spent years as a medical transcriptions and you would be amazed at the number of HCWs who dictated that term oblivious to what it reads as!

Lort!

Hmm. So this is "not moist" is better than this is "moist"

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.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

😔

If they love you they call it juicy

George, its not hard...its moist on the ears.... (ill see myself out...)

Speaking of Moist🍁 this is what standards for leadership in Canada 🇨🇦 youtu.be/eySDeBdqxGY?...

i knew someone in the 80s who had a similar reaction to “moist" disgusted by some cake mix that created “Moist” cake. delightful, beautiful, snazzy woman, otherwise.

Why bcuz u no like the woman’s?

Ffs it is a good thing in most situations

Flamethrower heat helps

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.

“It’s not very moist”.

Thank God it's not Dry.

It’s also one of the words that the editor in chief of Family Circle did not allow to be used. (Inside info). You’re welcome!

It's not right to feel this way, but I have to be grown up about friends called 'Dick'.

Lol

Someone is channeling their Katie from Letterkenny

Not for Chefs! Or Vets checking dog noses...🐶 Gynocologists....? 😲😨

Nah, use it as often as possible just for hilarious effect.

I like my bird heavy on the wet

Hard eye roll. LOL

It makes me concerned if you’re regularly getting the feedback “moist” rather than “juicy” on your turkey

Juicy 🤭

Impersonator. Block and report. Happy Thanksgiving.

Succulent is up there.

Ooh that's a good word but that sounds even worse than moist

Always reminds me of Charles Dozsa (RIP). youtu.be/XebF2cgmFmU?...

Sorry, his name was Jack Karlson.

That’s a first for me

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.

Grandma what?

Is there a study on this. There are too many people who find it repulsive and I've never understood why.

Bet I can think of a few ways to wedge "moist" into that scenario. "This turkey is not moist!" "It's too not moist!" "Can a turkey be more not moist?"

This needs to be moister!

Less not moist?

It must be the most moist!

Who would purposely ruin food?!

Ewwwwwwww

stop bringing X here. Please

Every other word is worse: damp, soggy, drippy... Be grateful for the word moist.

😂💙💙👣🫂

What about juicy? Lol

Like don’t you appreciate a moist cake?

I’ve never understood why people act weird bout hearing this word

I’ll take moist over creamy 🤢

Broke out the guffaw for this one.

Juicy.

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.

"The night was humid or the night was moist?" Actually, "The night was sultry." Best line in Throw Momma from the Train. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c1s...

😂 😂😂

😅

It’s just a little dry.

Moist is a great word. You can really drag out each syllable: m-oi-st... or just push the moi part...

How about: tender, sweet and juicy?

Everybody loves damp turkey

youtu.be/89Lk7eOkht4?...

Almost as bad as succulent! 🤢

It's not moist

Or “succulent” SHIVERS

Dont forget “gusset”

MOIST HARD ON! 🤣

Moist Moist Moist

There’s a fine line between “ your Turkey is moist” and “”Your turkey tastes like rubber” ..and how do you know what a rubber tastes like? 🤔

But I love that word. At least I could still say "meat-sweats."

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?" 🤫

Succulent is almost as bad.

🤣🤦‍♀️

But then you ALSO miss out on hearing that your turkey is “succulent”! …which is arguably an even worse word. ☹️

"Moist" has its place though. Who'd buy a Duncan Hines Super Damp cake mix?

What is the opposite of a book being dry? Is a good book wet? Is it a moist book?

"This turkey is so dank" Nah doesn't imply the same thing

Oh my God these people actually think they’re funny.

ok if moist is hard on the ears is juicy better?😈

Weirdly moist

Glad you’re feeling’ it😜

Adolescent Snow flakes. 🤨

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. Oh, and there’s also moisty. As in: ‘misty, moisty’..

Yes mate, I love that use of the word. Would you say 'it 's a moist, early morning'? a soft morning?

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."

Ugh. Spell check error: *overarching s/b OVERREACHING

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

I agree.

Yeah, I try to use the word every day.

As in, this Turkey isn't moist?

FYI

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.

Assuming this isn’t you. Should I report?

Reported already as “misleading”. Aye aye, captain.

You said "hard on". Tee hee

Moist!

Classic

Only for a certain generation/s 🤣 #moist

And it is a fine line between "moist" and "under". I'll take a bit dry over "under" every time.

M O I S T

It's "so juicy" is just as bad.

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! #justiceformoist #moistisnoice

The tea is rather moist as well.

It’s a good Wordle starting point.

I purposely don’t eat animals

😂

Heh! Can't beat nice, dry turkey meat!

I love moist cuz it makes me think of cake! but I hate damp cuz it makes me think of wet socks.

It is the worst word in the world. Imagine it paired with gusset and you have the worst phrase!

The Oligarch Rules…

Are you certain that Sm0l Ben Shapiro didn't create that post instead?

Things that a GOP person would say .... In their mating dance

Hard on the breathing too when one is waterboarded. 🤔 You really want that cloth moist. 💋

I've never quite understood the aversion people have with that word... I don't get bothered by it myself, so I lack a firsthand experience with it

Is it a USA thing?

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

So a piece of timber that would be hard and thick if it wasn't so moist is a no no!

I don't know for certain. There would need to be more research done.

I grew up with a greenhouse. "Moist" was a pretty important word for raising plants.

Moist or undercooked? Cook it properly and loads of gravy!

Why moist you spoil a turkey by overcooking it?

Moist is a great word and we need to reclaim it for the sake of fine cakes, turkeys, and fried chickens everywhere.

Justin Trudeau made that mistake during Covid. We all still cringe thinking about it. 😂

I walked by this vehicle and screenshotted this to my daughter 😂

14 time; about the stuffing... Im trying to eat here. lol

It’s a word that should be tasted in food like cake and turkey but not spoken 😬

Depends on how it’s whispered 🤷🏻‍♀️

😅

Oh my.

Too funny. Unfortunately this stratagem kicks its familiar companion "tender" to the curb in the process.

“Hey. This ain’t moist!”

You said hard on!

Truth!! 🤣🤣

This is why I make my moist cake and ensure my jacket is moistened during the walk in the moisture so I can inform you that my jacket is moist throughout the night while you compliment my moist cake.

But it’s such a perfectly descriptive word!! Why is it hated on? 😆

I can’t relate. I haven’t eaten meat in 50 years.

I was going to say that I didn't think Uncle George would be rattled so easily, but then I remembered the entire reason we have "Oh myyyy..."

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 wish it were moist"

Mooooiiiiiiiiist. Yup. I like it.

I like succulent. But only when whispered...

Please don’t ever say the word “moist”😂

That skeet is moist. In late-2024 slang news, moist is the new fetch.

LoL, you said "hard on".

“It could be a little more moist..”

IFYKYK

Outstanding
