“Although undeniably a part of the phenomenon, it is considered by Western authors too indecorous to be mentioned in a serious context. Indeed, I know of no English word for it other than ‘snivel’, which is rarely used except as a verb and usually metaphorically. In Chinese no such taboo exists, and it is possible to refer to the ‘jade tì’ of a weeping woman without making her in any way vulgar or ridiculous.” Huuuuh you see this a LOT more in c-fandom porn as well
