大石砸死蟹，系粤语里面系形容用强权将人压服的意思。“砸”字应该是写作“石乇”，是压的意思。这个词来自于清朝的一件冤案。话说在雍正年间，广州石井一带有个地区小官，人称祝巡检。别看祝巡检官职不高，但为人清廉，在当地颇有口碑。这天，一个衣衫褴褛，满面泥灰的人跌跌撞撞地跑进衙门。此人叫梁天来，他表哥是当地有权有势的大财主凌贵兴。凌贵兴为人蛮横霸道，又极为相信风水，结果听风水佬说表弟梁天来的祖屋是一风水宝地，住在那里可以保佑他世代发达，便连兄弟情都不顾，要赶走表弟全家。遭到梁家拒绝后，惨无人道的凌贵兴居然使出放火烧死梁家一家的阴招来。从火中逃出来的梁天来便跑到祝巡检这儿报案来了。要说起这天杀的凌贵兴，仗着自己家财万贯，早就重金买通了知府甚至巡抚，听说表弟跑到祝巡检那儿去了，冷笑一声，抓了五百两白银来到衙门，不用多说，又是要行贿了。祝巡检怎么会没听说过凌贵兴的大名和他的恶行？虽说他对这脏钱嗤之以鼻，但是迫于无奈，只好收下。事后祝巡检苦苦思索对策，想出一妙招，把五百两银子打成一只银蟹，摆在花盆里，用石头压住，一来保留证据，二来也是提醒自己要不遗余力地追查此案。借着祝巡检的暗中支持，梁天来成功进京上告，在朝廷的亲自查办下，凌贵兴和一众贪官均被严厉查办，祝巡检的银蟹自然也起到了重要的物证作用。百姓们对此案的明查拍手称快，大石砸死蟹这个词也在坊间传开了。
