Oxford University Press said "no", "Brexit" and "British", joined moist as the UK's four most-despised words.

More than 10,000 people have responded to the survey so far.

"Moist" - dubbed by comedian Miranda Hart the "queen of all words" - also leads the way in the US, Canada and Australia, also coming second in the poll of Dutch opinion.

Despite the poll's findings, "moist" does not appear to be universally despised.

On Wednesday's edition of The Great British Bake Off, host Mel Giedroyc remarked that it was her "favourite word" as she urged contestants to produce a "sumptuous" drizzle cake.

biscuit  A baked flour confectionery dried down to low moisture content.

The Mellowing of William Jefferson Clinton

THERE are certain things New York’s drinking sophisticates expect everyone — including tourists — to know. Can’t tell a malbec from a shiraz? You’re a bozo. Indifferent when facing a choice of Bud Light or Bass? What a dolt. Can’t distinguish Johnnie Walker from a single-malt scotch? Such a choob (that’s Scottish slang for a bozo or a dolt).




Malbec is a black, mellow grape variety originally grown in France, in the Loire Valley and Cahors. Long known as one of the six grapes used in the blending of red Bordeaux wine, it is increasingly celebrated as an Argentine varietal wine. It is also grown on Long Island, New York, and in the cooler regions of California. It has an extensive listing of synonyms, currently more than two hundred.[citation needed]
