      This seemed a little sus to me so I checked the dictionary. Merriam-Webster says wet can mean consisting of liquid such as water. (See 1a of screen capture).

      Wet is used as a synonym for rain in my local dialect. The endless flexibility of english is amazing. Noun that verb! Adjectivize all the words!

      Just don’t put colour before size in your stack of adjectives or everyone cringes, for some reason.

        Water makes it self wet? The other definitions and reasoning is plausible. Water makes water wet? Stoner ideas?

              I’m just tired of people arguing that weter isn’t wet when it’s right there in the name.

                Well, telling someone to shut the fuck up is quite rude, and definitely an overreaction. You need to touch grass.

                Also, what is weter?

                  You want me to touch the grass when the paint isn’t even dry yet? Are YOU okay?

                    Whoa, whoa, whoa. I had no idea the paint wasn’t dry yet! Set a 6-7 timer, and touch the grass after the firefighters give the “all clear”.

                There are a number of things that are wetter than water. So yeah, it’s wet, but it’s not the epitome of wetness.
