It is from Aesop's Fables, a story About a Boy who wanted some excitement while he was herding the village animals - he started yelling that he saw a wolf, and the villagers all ran out to help. He did this several times, and the villagers got tired of him lying - then, when there really was a wolf, nobody believed the boy.
when i went back to my apartmemt their was a big cry wolf in room 208.
To eat very quickly and greedily, as if you are starving.
It's A SHOULDER TO CRY ON. It's not really an idiom -- the person is offering to let the other person cry on them, as in offer them sympathy.
It is not an idiom. It is an expression. The difference is that an idiom's meaning cannot be derived from the meaning of its individual words. In the expression wolfing down food, the meaning is clearly derived from the meaning of the words, and people have been saying it for hundreds of years.
I cannot find an idiom that starts off "she cried tears." When you cry, you cry tears, so that would not be a good idiom anyway.
the wolf doesn't cry
