sopping wet
Dripping with moisture
Sopping wet means thoroughly saturated with water or other liquid—as wet as something can get.
Sopping alone means the same thing, but the addition of wet intensifies the image: The dog came in from the rain sopping wet.
The phrase often describes clothing or fabric that has absorbed so much liquid it drips.
