dripping
When used as an adjective, this word conveys a sense of saturation or excess. It often carries a visceral, physical quality, suggesting that a surface is so overwhelmed by liquid that it can no longer hold it. While it can be neutral, it frequently appears in contexts of exertion or discomfort, such as being drenched in rain or sweat.
In its noun form, the term refers specifically to rendered animal fat. This is a specialized culinary term common in British English. Because it refers to a mass of fat, it is treated as an uncountable substance and does not take a plural form in this context.
