Background: "Edmonton musician riffs on Justin Trudeau's cringe-worthy 'speaking moistly' gaffe" (CBC News). The musician, Brock Tyler, is super-nice about it:
"You know, you have to hand it to Justin Trudeau...He just immediately owned the moment as something that was just really ridiculous and fun.... People are really looking for something that's a distraction but also speaks to what we're all thinking about and facing every day at home... I thought it was a really special moment."

Does he still wear eyebrow merkins?
Because that would cause tears and require an eyemask.
Now do "corpseman."
It’s ok that he delayed cutting off flights from China over fears of seeming politically incorrect because he’s dreamy.
He just immediately owned the moment as something that was just really ridiculous and fun. Unfortunately, he did that in blackface.
Snopes rated it as "moistly true."
Hmmmm, pretty good evidence that people are approaching, if not past, full on stir crazy.
Amusing. I'm smirking.
A woman I work with HATES the word 'moist'.
I try not to use it in my everyday speech, but sometimes you have to call a 'moist towelette' a moist towelette.
Like: every day.

Prof. Althouse,
Do you need a Justin Trudeau tag?
He's killing me moistly with his song.
Trudeau's father, Pierre, was a brilliant man, even though I disagreed with him politically on most things [I'm dual US/Canada citizen, born USA]. His son, however, is a clueless idiot who traded on his father's name to become leader of the Liberal Party of Canada after they were nearly wiped out in an election. Men get most of their intellect genetically from their mother, and young Trudeau's mother was so stupid and absolutely bat-shit crazy that full custody of the three sons was given to PM Trudeau (pere) in a divorce, which outcome is quite rare in Canada.
I disagreed with Trudeau (pere), but respected him immensely. Trudeau (fils) is an absolute buffoon and a total dolt. His father would have been appalled.
Margaret Trudeau looked moist in her Studio 54 picture sans knickers. But I would never say that.
"Men get most of their intellect genetically from their mother.."

So THAT explains why I am so fucked!
Moist? You want moist?...just squeeze yourself into a small living room with a bunch of femmes watching Tom Brady or Brad Pitt on TV.
Moistness....Overpowering moistness....worse than New Delhi just before the monsoon
I've always been a little confused by the famous aversion to the word "moist." But it does seem to automatically induce cringe among a subset of the population. Used to describe food seems to be the only exception.
Canada’s Prime Minstrel!

No, that's just a new old-wive's tale based on a bogus blog post (now gone) and wishful thinking.
The Gary Trudeau tag? Do I have to listen to the song to get the tag, or was that a mistake?
As a Canadian, I think Justin has done a pretty good job of these briefings. I know many people, including my wife, will say he is more professional about it, and thus more reassuring, than a certain orange man--but I have no real problem with Trump either. I do wonder sometimes in which language Justin spends more of his time, English or French.
Adams says, in one of his annotated collections, that "moist" is a vaguely naughty sounding word, and he likes to throw it in every now and then.
"Overpowering moistness....worse than New Delhi just before the monsoon" Ha! Good one. Took me quite by surprise. A short, sharp phlegm-shaker.

Who's "Gary Trudeau"? If it's the Doonesbury idiot, it should be "Garry".
And, yes, I googled it to make sure my memory didn't play me false.
The Three Justins should sing together.
So some people don't like the word "moist"? Huh. Never knew that. Are they the same people who don't like things that have a lot of holes in them, like colanders?
Cringe words:
moist
panty
lover
All three in a row, and you've got yourself a Cringefecta!
I certainly hope this has nothing to do with Gary Trudeau!
Trudeau really gets lovingly soft coverage, doesn't he? One might almost call it a tongue bath.
As the southpark song goes: "Canada's not a real country anyway". that's why they can get by with having a Princess Clown for a PM. Along with the far left NDP.
Trudeau needs a clown costume while he sings.
And the song he should be singing is "The Joker".
It's fitting...
There's always a joker in the pack
There's always a lonely clown
The poor laughing fool falls on his back
And everyone laughs when he's down
There's always a funny man in the game
But he's only funny by mistake
But everyone laughs at him, just the same
They don't see his lonely heart break
They don't care as long as there is a jester, just a fool
As foolish as he can be
There's always a joker, that's a rule
But fate deals the hand and I see
The joker is me
Tom T. "One might almost call it a tongue bath."
And that is nothing if not moist.
Am I missing something? Trudeau used words that conveyed exactly what he was trying to say. Seems like very effective communication to me. How was this a gaffe? Is it just that some people find the word 'moist' icky?
He's great at that kind of thing. Nothing else, sadly.
"Margaret Trudeau looked moist in her Studio 54 picture sans knickers."
So wot, have a link to the photo Mate?
1. A moistened bint.

A girl gets her father's and mother's x chrom and the girl can share the fathers x lineage. A boy gets only his mother's x lineage and only his fathers y lineage. The idea would be that the x chrom is more important for intelligence than the y,(What, would y less girls be stupid??.) Thus if the x chrom does in fact have more influence on brains the hypothesis is more supported. Of course this analogy over simplifies.
Anecdotally I have known many girls that were intellectually very like their fathers, And the same with boys and mothers, but your own personal experience does not count at all, you forget the girls that are like mom and the boys that are like dad.
