drool

Wet the bib

Drool is saliva that flows uncontrollably from the mouth.

Babies drool; so do sleeping adults and people who've had dental work.

The verb means to let saliva escape: The dog drooled on the carpet.

Figuratively, to drool over something is to desire it intensely: He was drooling over the sports car.
