Single Perfect Tear
Dean Winchester has displayed an affinity for crying a single perfect tear.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

The term also spread to the writers' room, as evidenced by this quote from Sera Gamble:
Abandon All Hope was the first time I actually cried watching a director’s cut. At first I thought maybe I was just having one of those days, but I checked in with the other writers… I don’t want to incriminate anybody, so I will just say that one or more male producers also shed what we like to refer to as A Single Perfect Man-Tear.[8]
At Jus In Bello Italy 2011 Jensen revealed the crew referred to this phenomenon as the OPT - "One Perfect Tear"
