Moist

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Moist is an adjective meaning moderately or slightly wet or damp. Evidence indicates that Coach Z has an atypical affinity for things that are moist, not least of which being his alter-ego, Damp Towel Man's, job (collecting damp towels) and catch phrase ("Moist molecules!"). Aside from this, The Brothers Chaps have found some unique and unexpected ways to employ this word.
