There is in French a word that irritates me. In conversations, they very often say: -'génial' for any little thing or idea they think funny, good or pleasant. It baffles me. I never dared make a comment on it, because it does not seem to irritate them one bit.
It is a question of degree. There are words whose sound I dislike but from what I read about moist it seems to generate an unusual aversion a real loathing or revulsion not merely a "oh that's an ugly word" sort of reaction.
