Jim, I've suggested an edit showing an example from in the wild using "sappy movie", but SE says now that it has to be approved by trusted community members etc. If the machine doen't ask you to confirm, feel free to reject them anyhow.– ConradoCommented May 4, 2020 at 2:31

1@Conrado- I approved it (with an edit) :-)– JimCommented May 4, 2020 at 2:38

1I've never actually heard of sap being used to mean somebody overly emotional. (Although sappy means sentimental.) But sap, as far as I know, just means gullible.– Jason BassfordCommented May 4, 2020 at 3:03

1@JasonBassford - That seems to be confirmed by the dictionaries I looked at, but I can tell you that “calling” someone a sap when they cry at a certain type of “Hallmark channel” movie has been been a common thing in my sphere of experience.– JimCommented May 4, 2020 at 3:09

Perhaps since OP asks for slang, an Urban Dictionary entry is allowed? "sap: someone who is spilling out their guts about how they feel and such." urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sap– ConradoCommented May 4, 2020 at 3:17

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- Review existing tags and read their descriptions to learn when they should be used.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. single-word-requests), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
