In the past, it was often believed that crocodiles shed tears that slid down into their mouths to moisten the food, making it easier to chew and swallow. Nowadays, this expression is used when someone pretends to cry to manipulate a situation. If someone sheds 'crocodile tears', it means they look sad or upset but in fact are not.
