Patricia Wentworth’s 1937 mystery The Case is Closed (Bookshop|Amazon) includes a character who disparages others as being dreepy or a dreep. These words are Dreep and dreepy are Scottish dialect versions of drip and drippy and have to do with someone who’s ineffective, weak, soft, or otherwise gormless. This is part of a complete episode.
