              moist is a good word. I tend to derive sexual connotations to that word. Though I do that with a lot of words.

                Any noun used as a verb.

                "Impact" is not a verb!
                "Memo" is not a verb!
                "Task" is not a goddamned verb!

                  Impact has been used as a verb since 1601, when it meant “to fix or pack in,” and its modern, figurative use dates from 1935. It may be that its frequent appearance in the jargon-riddled remarks of politicians, military officials, and financial analysts continues to make people suspicious. Nevertheless, the verbal use of impact has become so common in the working language of corporations and institutions that many speakers have begun to regard it as standard. It seems likely, then, that the verb will eventually become as unobjectionable as contact is now, since it will no longer betray any particular pretentiousness on the part of those who use it.

                      Okay, fine. Impact shouldn't be a goddamned verb!

                              All the words preceding "but" in a sentence. A complete waste of time as they are about to be turned on their head.

                              Example: "I really like you but I don't think we should see one another anymore."
