I'm not bothered by any, I actually like the word "moist". It's one of those words that sounds like what it means. I understand why people are offended by many words too, but I have none that would offend me. It's the intention that I'm bothered about. Should someone call me a cunt, I'd be more concerned about whether or not they intended offense than the history of the word itself.
