thirsty
Craving a drink
Thirsty describes the sensation of needing liquid—the body's signal that it wants water.
Extended uses follow naturally: thirsty soil absorbs moisture readily; a thirsty plant needs watering.
To be thirsty for something is to crave it intensely: thirsty for knowledge, thirsty for revenge.
In recent slang, thirsty describes someone who seems desperate for attention or validation, especially romantic or sexual: He's so thirsty—he comments on all her posts.
