slabbering
Letting saliva escape
Slabbering is drooling or slobbering—letting saliva dribble from the mouth.
It applies to infants, animals, or anyone eating messily: The dog came slabbering toward me.
By extension, it describes excessive, sycophantic praise: slabbering flattery.
The word is somewhat old-fashioned, more common in British English than American.
