      Colloquially, it’s wet.

      Merriam-Webster’s first definition is…

      consisting of, containing, covered with, or soaked with liquid (such as water)

      Water is definitely consisting of liquid (such as water).

      I know “water isn’t wet” became a meme, but I think a lot of people who repeat it genuinely believe it to be true. And it may be true, by some definitions of the word. But colloquially, it’s false.

          I think the colloquial definition is something like “will my hand get wet if I put my hand in it? Then it’s wet”.

          If, instead, you’d get maimed or killed, then wet doesn’t seem to fit.

      Water is in water, so if water makes things wet it would also make itself wet. Ergo, water is wet
