A plural noun referring to individuals who are habitually or excessively prone to crying or weeping. This term can describe someone experiencing intense sadness, grief, or emotional distress, leading to the shedding of tears. It can also characterize those who frequently display such outward expressions of emotion, even in situations that might not necessarily warrant it. The word suggests a tendency towards emotional vulnerability and a propensity for letting tears flow, potentially highlighting a sensitivity or a difficulty in controlling their emotional reactions. Often used with a connotation of sadness and sorrow but not always, it also implies a person that has a habit of weeping, either from emotion, or medical issue. It is also used to describe features of trees such as willow trees, when referring to their drooping limbs.
