forbidden words

When I worked at our community newspaper, we weren't allowed to use the words "moist" or "tender"--luckily, we didn't write many food reviews. A few alternative terms to describe chicken, most of them disgusting:
It was slightly damp.
When prodded with a fork, the flesh sprung back.
On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being raw, 10 being overcooked, it was a 5.
