slavering
Mouth wetly overflowing
Slavering means drooling or letting saliva run from the mouth, typically from hunger, excitement, or rabid illness: The dog came slavering toward the meat.
Figuratively, it describes excessive, almost animalistic eagerness or desire: Critics were slavering over the chance to tear apart his new film.
The word carries connotations of uncontrolled appetite or unseemly enthusiasm.
