Dear authors,

The phrase "crocodile tears" should be used to reference someone who is faking an emotion. It's not about the tears or crying themselves. Definitely not about a quantity of tears cried or sobs involved. (Fun fact: there's also a condition nicknamed "crocodile tears." It causes sufferers to shed tears after eating or drinking after recovering from damage to a facial nerve.)

Apparently, this phrase is derived from an Egyptian fable that said that crocodiles shed tears while eating their prey.

I've seen several authors use "crocodile tears" to describe the tears of a child or innocent person. Seemingly trying to convey the emotion is too large or impactful for such a person. If you need a new word, try describing someone as sobbing, wailing, or even blubbering. Or perhaps inconsolable, disconsolate, or heartbroken.

The distinction between real and false emotions is very important.

Earnestly,

An avid reader
