dribble
Baby's chin leakage
Dribble describes liquid falling or flowing in small drops or a thin stream: Water dribbled from the faucet.
A person dribbles when saliva escapes the mouth uncontrolled—common in infants and the infirm.
In basketball, to dribble is to bounce the ball repeatedly while moving; in soccer, to advance the ball with short kicks.
The noun covers any of these: a dribble of sauce, a dribble down the court.
