salivating

To salivate means to produce excess saliva in your mouth, often as a sign of excitement or hunger.

When we say that someone is salivating over something, it usually means they really want it and can't wait to get their hands on it. For example, if you see a delicious pizza picture online and start imagining the taste, you might start salivating just thinking about eating it. This word is often used in casual conversations or writing when describing strong reactions to food, movies, or other appealing things that trigger our senses.
