gushing
Flowing out rapidly
Gushing describes liquid flowing out rapidly and abundantly: Water came gushing from the broken pipe.
More often, gushing refers to excessive or effusive expression of emotion or praise: gushing compliments, She was gushing about the wedding.
The word implies lack of restraint—enthusiasm that may seem overdone or insincere.
