A drooler is someone who lets saliva flow from their mouth involuntarily. It suggests a lack of control or awareness. Unlike a professional wine taster, a drooler's saliva flow is unintentional and often messy. Think of it as the opposite of composure; it's more like a bodily function gone awry. This word is often used humorously or critically. Droolers need to maintain control.
The word 'drooler' comes from the verb 'drool,' which means 'to let saliva drip from the mouth.' The origin of 'drool' is uncertain, but it may be related to the Old English word 'dreor,' meaning 'blood' or 'gore.' The suffix '-er' indicates a person who performs the action. The term often carries a connotation of childishness or infirmity.
Imagine a scene from 'Twilight' where Jacob Black is described as a 'drooler' whenever he sees Bella Swan. His intense infatuation is comically expressed through excessive salivation. It's like turning a romantic interest into a slightly embarrassing physical reaction.
