Water isn't wet, it does make things wet though.
If "wet" is defined as the state of a given area of matter in large part touching water, then water is wet, too, since it's touching itself.
...I could have phrased that to sound less like masturbation.
Can water be dry?
Sure: Dry Steam
Dehydrated water: just add water.
Merriam Webster defines wet as: consisting of, containing, covered with, or soaked with liquid (such as water)
Water consists of water, therefore by definition it is wet.
True. Every semester, I have some young genius who thinks they’ve gotten one over on the prof. Love this response. :)
Cool. Oil is wet
Yes, it is.
Dry cleaning fluid too!
