Cách sử dụng
"Eat your words" is a phrase used to describe a situation where a person has to take back something they said earlier. It means they admit they were wrong about something they said or predicted. This phrase is often used when someone confidently says something that turns out to be incorrect, and they later need to admit their mistake. For example, if someone says that they will never be friends with someone, but then becomes close friends with that person, they could be told to "eat their words" because they were wrong about the friendship.
