意味
To make a smacking sound with one's lips, often in anticipation of food.
文化的背景
Food is a major topic of conversation. Using this phrase shows you are genuinely interested in the food. Similar to Korea, food appreciation is high, but 'drooling' is used more often for intense desire. Lip-smacking is often seen as rude while eating, but acceptable as a gesture of anticipation. Hyperbole is common in idioms; 'drooling three feet' is a standard way to express desire.
Context is key
Use it for food in casual settings, and for abstract goals in formal settings.
Don't be rude
