slobbering

Letting saliva dribble

Slobbering is drooling or letting saliva run from the mouth, as babies and some dogs do.

It extends to excessive, unrestrained displays of affection or enthusiasm: slobbering praise, slobbering all over a celebrity.

The word suggests something undignified or lacking self-control.
