A common theory is that it just sounds gross, but that was somewhat debunked by a group of researchers from Oberlin College and Trinity University. They ran three experiments and discovered that 14 to 21 percent of participants were averse to the word. However, similar sounding words like âfoistâ and ârejoicedâ did not garner the same negative feelings from the participants.
âMoistâ was considered most distasteful when it was paired with sexual or unrelated positive words, but many were not as bothered when it accompanied food words such as âcake.â This suggests that the reason for the disdain was more tied to what the word implied—and its association with bodily functions—than to its sound.
Thereâs also something to be said for the cultural component, or the theory that people hate the word because other people hate the word.

It is not accurate to say that all skinny people hate fat people. It is important to avoid generalizations and assumptions about individuals based on their body size. It is more productive to focus on promoting body positivity, acceptance, and respect for all body types.
