'disagreeably damp, musty, and typically cold.'
I imagine I'd describe visiting a predators GI tract as 'disagreeably damp', among other things.
An aside : I agree that I haven't heard it used in the context of submerging, but the definition seems to allot for it?
- ultrarunner 6y agoI wouldn't expect a "dank basement" to require SCUBA gear. I agree with GP that this word use struck me as odd and distracting. Not sure what I expected to read about a beetle navigating an intestinal tract, but still.
- phyzome 6y agoBut probably not very cold, or musty for that matter. And "damp" would only be used ironically to describe an entirely aqueous environment. "Hmm, I don't like the ocean, it's a bit damp."
