Funny Observations
Water Isn't Wet
Technically, being wet means being covered or saturated with water or another liquid, so water isn't wet, it is the wetness. See also Science.

actually one water molecule is covered with more water so water is wet

For something to make something else wet, it has to be wet itself, therefore, water has to be wet.

Water is wet cuz if something is soaked or drenched it's still not 100% wet ya know cuz it's not all water. See what I did there. It's not all wet but if it is only water it is 100% wet. aka just water.

Stop trying to say water is wet, it's like saying sugar is sugary. An adjective being used to describe the word it's derived from is pointless. Yes I am an english nerd.

Ah yes, i do too enjoy my unwet, dry water

Ah! This old argument! I think it has to do with what you mean by the word "wet." Some people perceive wet as being anything that *feels* wet to the touch, and so water would naturally be wet. Others (like me) perceive the word "wet" to mean anything being covered in water, which water can't be because something can't be covered in itself just by being itself.

Wet means touching or being covered in water. Water is (almost) always touching other water, so unless you isolate one single H2O molecule, water is wet.

ohhohoho this good ol' argument, if you say the water molocules are wet makes water wet, well thats incorrect, the water MOLOCULE is wet, not the water itself, for something to be wet a liquid has to be on it correct? therefore water itself is not wet, just everything it touches.

If anything water touches is wet, then when water molecules are touching they are wet, meaning that unless you isolate a single molecule of water, then it is wet.

This is very controversial.

Google says "Water is wet, in the sense of being a liquid which flows easily, because its viscosity is low, which is because its molecules are rather loosely joined together."

But water is constantly touching water, so...

Without water, life would be so dry, (that means water is wet)

Oh my gosh me and my brother have had this argument for years. Water itself isn't wet. The object containing the water is wet. If you stick your hand in water, it isn't wet until you take it out again.

water is, in fact, usually covered in more water
