plewdEtymologyCoined by Charles Rice.nounA stylized sweat drop drawn on the air around a character's head, as if it were coming out of the character, as used in cartoons, especially comic strips.“You may be able to draw like Michelangelo, but you'll never make a cartoonist until you're up on such matters as Squeans, Plewds, and Briffits. […] Plewds are the little drops of perspiration that shoot off a character's brow to indicate physical exertion, embarrassment, fear or practically anything else.”
