Hida Nakiro

Hida Nakiro was the Crab Clan Champion during the mid-11th century. He was confronted by a weeping Scorpion in the Emperor's Court, and had no such time for frivolity so he simply responded; "Oh, how sincere." Nakiro turned and left, leaving the Scorpion with a brutal, cunning and public bruise. Since then it became common practice for a Crab to utter the same phrase whenever confronted with someone they felt were less than up front with them, implying they were acting rather than putting forth genuine emotion.
