drippy

A versatile informal adjective with a few overlapping meanings: literally describing something that drips or is wet, but more interestingly used as British slang for someone who is weak-willed, overly sentimental, or lacking backbone — the person who can never make a decision, cries at everything, and goes along with whatever anyone says.

A versatile informal adjective with a few overlapping meanings: literally describing something that drips or is wet, but more interestingly used as British slang for someone who is weak-willed, overly sentimental, or lacking backbone — the person who can never make a decision, cries at everything, and goes along with whatever anyone says. It can also mean maudlinly sentimental content, like a film that piles on the emotional manipulation. The insult is mild and faintly affectionate, with more eye-roll than genuine contempt.

Don't be so drippy about it — just tell him you don't want to go.

  • Ah yes, the "lightbulb sockets aren't as bad for licking as porcupines and drippy bagpipes full of cobra venom" argument. I remain as yet unpersuaded.
