When a character has drops of sweat that are projected off of their body.
Typically used as a symbol to represent physical effort, surprise, or nervousness - these are known as Plewds in comic book art. This can also be tagged to less common, realistic depictions of sweat drops flying off of a character's body.
Japanese artwork tend to depict this theme as u-shaped lines. If you see those shapes near a character's head, it is part of this theme.
