Eat crow?"...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

Term that means to be wrong on a position and have to admit it.Originally posted by Marko69 View Post
Eating crow is an American colloquial idiom,[1] meaning humiliation by admitting wrongness or having been proven wrong after taking a strong position.[2] Crow is presumably foul-tasting in the same way that being proven wrong might be emotionally hard to swallow.[2] The exact origin of the idiom is unknown, but it probably began with an American story published around 1850 about a slow-witted New York farmer.[3] Eating crow is of a family of idioms having to do with eating and being proven incorrect, such as to "eat dirt" and to "eat your hat" (or shoe), all probably originating from "to eat one's words", which first appears in print in 1571 in one of John Calvin's tracts, on Psalm 62: “God eateth not his words when he hath once spoken”.[2]

Gonz is often wrong, but he goes "camping" rather than eat crowI feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it onComment

Eating crow is not the same as appeasing the spouse.
We males continue to eat crow to appease our spouse and it is not always a situation where crow should be prepared.I long for a Lions team that is consistently competitive.Comment

Wcfwtf. Glad to see you post. Keep in mind that this thread existed well before Stafford's current run. There is a difference between critiquing Stafford and a lot of what happened in this last preseason. Which is why there is some lite ribbing to the three major players. Honestly while you were a bit outlandish, not as bad as the other two.Originally posted by wcfwtf View Post
What is disappointing and I am actually sad about is the other two. I get being opinionated. I get not having a popular opinion. But still as a person who from the beginning of Caldwell's run hasn't been a fan I'll sit back and eat more crow as he wins. Why wouldn't I, I have my worries, but what's more important than the Lions winning. That's why I am a bit sad because there are at least two "haters" that where so driven in their opinions on Stafford that they have participated in months. What the point in being so determined in what's best for the Lions if you can't sit back and enjoy it with everyone when they succeed even if it's not the way you wanted it.Comment

Ditto. But I give myself grace because my ass has been burned 8200 times by the Lions. That said, it seems different now, mostly because of Stafford and the coordinators. I ate too much kung pao this eve so maybe I'll feel differently again in an hour or so.Originally posted by jaadam4 View PostComment
