A dribbler covers a few bases depending on your context.
A dribbler covers a few bases depending on your context. In sports, it's a player who's skilled at dribbling a ball — nimble, controlled, hard to tackle. In general slang it's a mildly derogatory term for someone considered stupid or slow-witted, as if their brain is leaking out drop by drop. And literally, it's anyone who drools or dribbles. The insult version is fairly mild by UK standards — more of a light ribbing than a serious takedown.
He's a brilliant dribbler on the pitch but a complete dribbler off it — forgot his own birthday last year.

“He’s a talented athlete & dribbler with great technical skills. He can’t help us build from deep nor does he appear to have the defensive instincts for the role either. He’s an 8.”
