I'm going with this one. Contact Light indicated that the 3' long feelers on the Lunar Module legs had made contact with the ground. It was the signal to chop the power. So, when the contact light lit, they were touching the moon.
Now, they said "Houston, the Eagle has landed" AFTER they shut down the engine.

Balzé HalzéIt was something like, "Hey, Buzz, can you grab me that notepad over there?"
And then Neil Armstrong snuck out ahead of Aldrin to be the first man to walk on the moon.
True story.

tatortoddSince Neil Armstrong was a Purdue alumni, I suspect the real first words spoken were "suck this IU"

cslingerWell Neil was a Navy guy so I am pretty sure it was a colorful metaphor.
"I'm thinking something like "No shit we made it, can you fuckin' believe it!"
Or did you mean the first documented or over the radio words.
Either that or "Sorry Buzz, rock beats scissors, sit your ass down."

heathtxac26 is correct, "Contact" was the first word spoken from the moon.
According to NASA records, the sequence of spoken words was:
In the LEM
"Contact light, engine shutdown"
Transmitted to NASA
"Houston, the Eagle has landed"

SigSACWe have a team meeting at work each week. We rotate the duty as the meeting lead. This week was my turn. I'm the oldest on the team by a good amount with the exception of one person who is only a few years younger (and he was out today). In honor of the anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing, I took the "Survival on the Moon" exercise for the group to try out.

We were on our way back, and stopped in a park along the highway to listen to the car radio when they stepped out of the lunar module.
