lolling

Draped and drooping

Lolling is lounging lazily, typically with the body draped loosely: He spent the afternoon lolling on the couch.

The word suggests relaxed, boneless comfort—limbs splayed, posture abandoned.

A tongue lolls when it hangs loosely from the mouth: The dog sat panting, tongue lolling.
