drippy
Leaking slow drops
Drippy describes something that drips or tends to drip: a drippy faucet, drippy candle wax.
Figuratively, drippy means excessively sentimental or mawkish: a drippy love song, drippy greeting card verse.
The insult extends to people who are weak, boring, or lacking substance: He's kind of drippy—no personality at all.
