it's such visceral sounding word. You can almost feel the wetness when you say it. It's not a good wetness, like a refreshing splash of water on a hot summer day, or a warm relaxing wetness, like a hot sauna burning away your aches after trudging through a foot of snow. its.. moist. It describes the effects of humidity. like sweaty clothes on a hot day, or putting on a pre-wet swimsuit. it's the word you would use to describe the wet food you accidentally grace your hand on in the sink. i'd describe the word "moist" and the word "crusty" as two sides of the same coin. it's meaning antithetical in every way but it's perpetual unpleasantness

damp is also similarly uncomfortable for the same reasons, but to a lesser degree. i think it might have to do with the fact that moist has more sexual body-fluid cogitations compared to damp. Often used to describe WAPs. (as a wise friend of a friend of mine once said, "I am uncomfortable with a word that can apply to both cakes and vaginas") Same thing with the word succulent. it sounds like a Shakespearean word for a blow job.
