“whet your appetite”
i · The common misuse One wrong form
ii · What it meansTwo lines, no filler
'Whet' means to sharpen — you whet a blade, you whet an appetite. Same verb. 'Wet' (with water) is a homophone, not a synonym.
iii · Memory hookKeep this one
Whet = sharpen. Wet = moisten. Appetites are sharpened, not dampened.
