dripping
Collected meat fat
Dripping describes liquid falling in drops: a dripping faucet, dripping wet from the rain.
Something dripping with a quality has it in excess: dripping with sarcasm, dripping with jewels.
As a noun, dripping is the fat rendered from roasting meat, used in British cooking for frying or spreading on bread.
