"Eat crow" = Ăn quạ/chịu nhục -> Thấy ngại và thừa nhận việc làm của mình là sai.

Ví dụ
“Sometimes we have to eat crow, but we eat it and admit it, then move forward. We are the best.” Diversification (sự đa dạng hóa) has not always been easy.

I had Ohio State finishing 2nd as well. If Brendan’s going to crow about it this early, I’ll be damned if I won’t do the same. I’m perfectly willing to eat crow if they finish below that at season’s end.

I’ll start with the phrase “eating crow” whose origins are somewhat disputed (được tranh luận, bàn cãi). The idea of eating crow generally means that someone made a comment about something that later turned out to be inaccurate, thus requiring the person to “eat crow” or in other words, swallow their pride (nuốt bỏ cái tôi, niềm kiêu hãnh).
