The name of the film, Dear John, is an American slang that means a letter of dismissal. It was originally written as Dear John Letter, where John refers to American soldiers. The origin of this term is that during World War II, the fiancee or wife in their hometown could not bear the fact that their man was away all the time, so they broke up. The content of this letter is generally: "I have found a life-long partner, that person is not you." Due to the popularity of Dear John and the very short content of the letter, another English phrase was born directly: "That's all she wrote". The non-literal meaning of this phrase is "I was dumped by her."
