   Define #crocodileTears

   An aggressor's sadness, fake or cluelessly entitled, because their aggression backfired

   Example:

   #Afroman's "Lemon Pound Cake" mocked a #police raid on his home (resulting in no charges)

   They sued

   Because "waah, my feelings"

   One of the officers "cried" on the stand

   Afroman won

   And congratulations Afroman for reigniting your career

   "I got the right to kick a can in my backyard, use my #freedomOfSpeech, turn my bad times into a good time"
