How it's used

Used primarily to tease children or adults who are perceived as overly sensitive or prone to tears. It carries a slightly mocking tone, implying that the person's emotional reaction is disproportionate to the situation. While derived from a specific cultural reference, the term has evolved into a common, lighthearted label for anyone who cries frequently.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with simply being sad or crying once; it specifically describes a personality trait or habitual behavior. Using it to describe someone who is genuinely grieving or in distress can be seen as insensitive or rude.
