Etymology

The word 'slobbering' originates from the Old English term 'slobber', which means to let saliva drip. It is derived from the Proto-Germanic 'slubrล', which is associated with similar terms in other Germanic languages. Over time, it has evolved to not only describe the physical action of drooling but also to imply excessive or silly talk or behavior. This dual meaning has persisted through its usage in both animal behavior and in describing human actions, often in a humorous or exaggerated context. The use of 'slobber' can be traced back several centuries in English literature, emphasizing its established role in colloquial language to convey a sense of silliness or uncontrolled emotion.
