    This is an argument I have with friends, water is not wet, it makes things wet. It’s why firefighters add things like dish soap when they need “wet water.”

      You are correct. There is even such a thing as dry water. I was first going to put the sky is blue, but similar arguments can be made there.

      The water on the other water makes the other water wet, and vice versa

      Coming at it from a colloquial definition and not a chemist’s definition, though. And I prefer the colloquial definition of “wet”.

        Are fish in the sea wet? Or are things wet only when they have some water on them but not all of the water? So then do fish get wet the moment you take them out of the water?
