A FACT: Crocodiles cannot cry; they lack tear ducts. Yet this is a myth; Crocodiles possess lacrimal glands which secrete a proteinaceous fluid, just like in humans, though tears will only be visible after a crocodile is out of the water for a prolonged period of time, and dries out. However, while crocodiles can and do generate tears, this is solely a method of cleaning their eyes - they do not weep or cry for remorse. A PROVERB: Crocodile tears is false or insincere weeping, a hypocritical display of emotions. The expression comes from an ancient anecdote that crocodiles weep in order to lure their prey, or that they cry for the victims they are eating. They are fake tears.
The allusion is to an old notion that crocodiles cry whilst eating their prey. Also, if out of the water for some time they weep to lubricate dry eyes. Crocodile tears are a way of expressing superficial sympathy form human beings. It is a way of expressing insincere remorse
