I agree, yes, one should at least be able to call oil "dark, slippery
water".
As J. Evans was criticising the hearing software:
fleshlight
--- etc.
It's interesting than in erotic fiction (see "Erotic Fiction"), watersports
does _not_ mean 'wet wet' water.
It is interesting to analyse each 'wet' in terms of genus and differentia
specifica.
'wet' should indeed be restricted to _water-wet_.
pee-wet ("He wets his bed") is a different matter.
Etc.
