I'm trying to describe the peculiar feeling when you touch a cool, water-condensated surface (like a soda can freshly out of the fridge, the indoor side of a window in winter, etc.). It's kind of an unpleasant feeling because you'd get your hand wet and cold touching it. Any good suggestions?

    The can is dewy. The absolutely most repugnant sensation in the world is dewy (wet) grass on one's bare feet.

    @DanBron If you can't think of any more repugnant sensation than that yours is not a fertile imagination.

  • @WS2 Brave words for a man who's at no risk of being asked to walk barefoot across wet grass in the near future!

  • @DanBron - That actually feels good. Have you tried barefoot in snow?
