wets
Makes something damp
Wets is the plural of wet as a noun—instances of moisture or wetness, or people who are wet.
In British political slang, wets are politicians perceived as soft or moderate, especially Conservatives who opposed Thatcher's harder economic policies: The wets in the party urged compromise.
The verb form means makes wet: Rain wets the pavement.
