Fill the sink with water.
Put the onion in the water-filled sink.
Hold the onion under water with one hand whilst you cut the onion with a knife (hold the knife in your other hand).
While doing this, you may breathe freely ... but you must keep your face out of the water to do so.
Haha
Your funny (:
you gotta be kidding me.
Today Rachel Ray said that the water dilutes the flavor - so your good stop holding your breath
Thanks, I needed a good laugh, you're too funny :-)

But on the serious side , put a spoon in your mouth! upside down on your tongue and you wont cry..you will look silly but no tears :-)
huh? i guess you missed the whole point. i don't know if i'm right but perhaps what your boy friend is saying is that you place the onion in a basin of water and then cut it there.

god bless! =)
If you want to chop your onions but not cry, put your onions in the freezer for 5 minutes before you cut them.
LOL, let him chop them then, lol.........
RIGHT TIMING IS NEEDED.USE GOOD KNIFE AND IT MAY HELP.
chew gum while chopping onions and you won't cry.
Try it, you have nothing much to lose and a lot to gain from it.
=)
I am surprised your not blonde...

He meant, put the ONION under water.

Not your whole effing body!!!
omg your so smart = ) well get a snorkle it should help in the imersment of your body in water while you cut onions "rolls eyes"
no no very simple method. when you cut onions do not breath through your nose. only your mouth so keep your mouth open and never breath through your nose when cutting onions.

there problem solved.
Put your tongue to the roof of your mouth. That water trick just dulls the flavor
better get a new BF with a different way to do things.
Just make sure you use a snorkel,and breath thru your mouth,,(,this is a joke)
wow, Giggle Bear, that is good!
hah hah !! :-)
i use my little kid's sunglasses. the tight fit seems to keep the onion fumes out of my eyes.
Chew Chewing Gum

Its stops your eyes from watering.
Put a teaspoon in your mouth whilst chopping and it'll stop your eyes watering.
