SLOBBERING Meaning and
Definition
-
Slobbering refers to the act of allowing excessive saliva or drool to escape from the mouth, often accompanied by the unintentional spilling or dribbling of saliva. The term is primarily used to describe a behavior commonly observed in certain animals, particularly canines, where the saliva runs uncontrollably from their mouths and often drips onto the ground or onto surfaces they come into contact with.
In dogs, slobbering can occur for numerous reasons, such as excitement, anticipation of food, or certain medical conditions. Some dog breeds are more prone to slobbering than others due to their physical traits or facial structure. For instance, dogs with loose jowls or droopy lips, such as Saint Bernards or Bloodhounds, may slobber more frequently.
However, "slobbering" can also be used metaphorically to describe a person's behavior, particularly when it involves expressing excessive admiration, flattery, or adoration towards someone or something. This figurative usage implies that the person is excessively and overly enthusiastic, showering unwarranted praise or attention. The term suggests a lack of restraint or self-control in expressing one's emotions.
Overall, "slobbering" can refer to the physical act of saliva dripping from the mouth or be used as a metaphor to describe individuals who exhibit an exaggerated display of admiration or affection.
