Meanings and usage

目屎

Page splits senses by dialect group without an explicit 'Teochew' tag on either sense; chose the eye-discharge/rheum sense (rather than the Hokkien-tagged 'tears' sense) since 目汁 is the entry explicitly marked as the Teochew word for tears, but the dialect attribution for this particular sense is inferred rather than stated outright.
