I always use webster dictionary since it is more accurate than any other ones, and it appears that air can be wet, but we do not call it that, it is humid is what we say.

Water could give a wet sensation on the skin because its molecules always absorb the body's  heat to maintain its bond with the skin. The heat that being absorbed is eventually being released in to the air. 

The heat absorption cycle is continued over and over. Therefore it give a wet sensation on the skin.

 I guess the water - skin bond is a dynamic bond.

not if water is in a gaseous state as vapor.  clouds are aerosol.  ice, which is solid water, is 'wet' as there is a quasi liquid layer on it.

Eddie Rabbitt sang a great song about rap - it was called C-Rap (Country Rap).

Water is not wet because wet is "moistened, covered, or soaked with water or some other liquid" according to the dictionary, and water cannot be "covered" with water because then the water would be absorbed and it wouldn't be wet. Thus, water is not wet.

HOW CAN IT GET SOMETHING WET IF IT'S NOT WET lol?

Water cannot be wet because then it would absorb what is making it wet and is thus no longer wet and was not ever wet

lol no cuz it was dry, then it was made wet. it would not absorb cuz the molecules in the water only stay in water unless it was paper cloth, or something that could absorb the wet.

It does not mean that water is not wet but it makes things that come in contact with it wet.

If the water's adhesive forces are greater than it's cohesive forces then it definietly helps it to wet things better, but it is definitely not wet itself

The state of being wet - covered in liquid.
Water is the liquid. Water is what gets things wet. Water isn’t wet by itself.

then how is it getting things wet without being wet?
