drips
Trickles in drops
Drips is the plural of drip, referring to drops of liquid falling or the sound they make.
As a verb form, it describes liquid falling in drops: Water drips from the faucet.
The noun extends to medical contexts where an IV drip delivers fluids slowly into a patient's bloodstream.
In slang, drip means stylish clothing or accessories, and drips can describe someone with impressive style: He's got serious drips.
Calling someone a drip, however, means they're dull or boring.
