两者都指从嘴里淌出的唾液，但侧重不同：drool 多指口水本身，常是睡觉或垂涎时不知不觉地流一点；slobber 则强调大量、黏稠、流得到处都是，常带不雅的贬义。美式口语中两者重叠较多，说婴儿流口水用 drool 更自然，说狗把口水弄得到处都是用 slobber 更贴切。
slaver 作名词时也指嘴里淌出的唾液，但多见于英式书面语，语气偏正式或陈旧；日常口语里表示同一意思基本用 slobber，而且 slobber 更强调流得满脸满身都是。两者不能随意互换语域。
slumber 与 slobber 拼写、发音都相近，是学习者最容易看错写错的一对，但意思完全无关：slumber 指睡眠，属文学或书面用词，和口水没有任何关系。看到 -obber 结尾要想到口水，看到 -umber 要想到睡觉。
