lap up
Drink like Fido
To lap up is to drink by scooping liquid with the tongue, as cats and dogs do: The kitten lapped up the spilled milk.
Figuratively, to lap something up is to receive it eagerly and uncritically: The audience lapped up every word of his speech.
The figurative sense often implies gullibility or excessive enthusiasm.
