damn onions

A popular term often used on social media in response to a sentimental, sappy, or emotionally-charged video or meme that makes you "tear-up". It's a metaphor referring to how your eyes water when you're cutting onions. The phrase is used by the poster as a means of deflecting or "saving face" from admitting they were emotionally affected to the point of tears welling in their eyes from what they just saw or read.
VIDEO POSTED ON FACEBOOK: (Something with a kitten getting rescued from a house fire by a firefighter that gives it oxygen and revives it. Then, the firefighter unites it with the ecstatic little girl it belongs to.)

SOMEONE AFTER VIEWING THE VIDEO: Just watched this video and my eyes started tearing up from those damn onions again!

Kieararaa the Onion

A high pitched alien chihuahua sounding turtle speed running giraffe looking self who doesn’t comprehend the algorithm of a toothpick and instead uses it to fight hamster midgets in the middle of a grocery store while singing let it go on the top of its toungue. No one knows whether to call it a boy or a witch, but either way will shove gummy bears up it’s ass in front of you for only 1 dollar an hour. a really extraordinary thing. They are very rare so don’t forget to snap a picture of it trying to lick its butthole and use the hashtag “omgthisthingmightbedeadlorwhateverthepenisinhermouth” and get a coupon for little ceasers. Be careful though, they could be deadly. You might think they look to stupid to be dangerous but that eye roll will get you. Be careful out there folks.

brown onion

A term used when you hold a towel over another person's face while they try doing a sit-up. With the towel covering their eyes so they cannot see, another person stands over the blindfolded person with his pants down. While the person is struggling with the sit-up, the person holding the towel lets his grip loose. This will allow the person to successfully complete his sit-up, with the suprise of ending up with his face in the other person's sweaty ass!
