Nothing divides the sexes more than “wet” or “moist”…

[almostwitty]

It has been my humble experience that nothing divides the sexes more than the words “wet”, “moist” or things of that nature.

One of my favourite quotable authors is Stephen Fry. One of his most memorable phrases was “moist gusset”. I just like the sound of that, the way the words roll into each other. But I had to stop saying it in company after women everywhere complained.

I’d heard really good things about the new Robert Downey Jnr. / Val Kilmer / Shane Black movie Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, but after I saw this killer quote:

I was tired, I was pissed, I was wetter than Drew Barrymore in a grunge bar.

I know that film will be my next new favourite.

But so far, when I’ve gleefully told people, their reaction has been somewhat divided around gender lines.

Is it the actual quote? Or more the fact it has the word “wet” in it, in a dubious sexual connotation?
