I know it's nit-picking but if you're going to write the bleedin' bible on this, for the love of god (lol) will you please use the correct term?
damp·ing
ˈdampiNG/Submit
noun
1.
technical
a decrease in the amplitude of an oscillation as a result of energy being drained from the system to overcome frictional or other resistive forces.
damp·en
ˈdampən/Submit
verb
gerund or present participle: dampening
1.
make slightly wet.
"the fine rain dampened her face"
synonyms: moisten, damp, wet, dew, water; literarybedew
"the rain dampened her face"
2.
make less strong or intense.
"nothing could dampen her enthusiasm"
2 will confuse some people but it's used in a metaphorical sense. In this case, the opposite of being enthusiastic would be a wet towel. In any case, please stop watering your cars.
Water humor, I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waiter.
And if you took this post WAY too seriously you can go argue with these fine fellows, I, honestly, don't have the energy:
