Definitions
- 1 In a slobbering manner.
"This portrait was as good and satisfactory a likeness as I generally succeeded in making; but it was painted in a rather loose manner, which I at that time affected in imitation of [Francis] Alexander’s bold touch,—a style which I materially modified, after a critic in speaking of my portrait of Sinclair called it a good likeness, but slobberingly painted. “Slobberingly” was a good word."
