The m-word

[James Harbeck]

Just by the way, my wife, a 37-year-old Canadian university
administrator, has no problem with the word "moist" (she says she
dislikes "dry" more, in fact). And she says people like the students
who proclaim it to be offensive to women make her feel embarrassed to
be a woman.

Making snowballs. Yep. I like that one. Gonna use it myself sometime, for sure.
