Water is wet and I’m tired of people arguing about it. Wet literally means “covered in or consisting of liquid,” and yet everyone seems to think water can’t be wet just because it also makes other things wet, which it does but that doesn’t mean it isn’t itself wet

I would say this still works.

Water can’t absorb neither moisture nor water so it can’t be holding as much of either as can be absorbed.
