Maybe it's just a myth, my mom told me to puncture one onion at knife point when cutting unions ...

One can easily apply these ideas when begins to cut onions. I have tried all these methods and found that cold water tips works well.

Maybe it's just me, but why get near the onion when you're cutting it? I've saved many a tear by simply chopping at arms' length, also keeping my head away from the "airspace" above the cutting board.

Eh? Cheesy

I've tried keeping a medium size bowl filled with just cold water next to where I'm cutting helps keep the tears away! I can't remember where I heard this, but it works for me

You could also wash the onion first before chopping it.
