The term comes from the days of when pirate's (not Somalian) ran the seas. They would send people out on the plank and two ship boys would go with the captive and walk him to his death. One captive said if he was going down he would take the ship boys with him and as he was pushed from the plank swept his feet under the boys and made them fall with him, thus creating the story of the three tears.
