It’s a put down and means dumb or foolish.
It’s an adjective derived from the noun “baba” which means drool or slobber.
It’s used rather light-heartedly, and is not a great offense. Other words could have rendered a much harsher retort.
For example, if you were told:
¡No seas baboso! = Don’t be dumb! or Don’t be foolish!
versus
¡Idiota! = Idiot! or You idiot!
let alone actually cursing you out…
so, “baboso” is not that harsh
It means stupid, dumbass, idiot and every other word like that, but it’s also used for a guy who follows any girl, trying to seduce her but without success (because he’s a dumbass)

If you want to take it literally, it means a person that produces an excess of saliva. However nobody uses this term literally. It is more often use to imply that a person is retarded, or that the person it an idiot.
driveling, silly stupid talk- Or you may hve heard it wrong as “babosa” means slug
