What do the similar idioms eat humble pie or eat crow or eat dirt mean?

To eat humble pie means that you are humbled, or brought down from your snobbish position; you are forced to admit that you were wrong about something. To eat crow is the same meaning; crows are considered "dirty" birds and unfit to eat in most cultures, so you'd be very humble indeed before you'd eat one. To eat dirt can mean the same, but it can also mean that you fell or were shoved to the ground and your face was in the dirt, as in you lost a fight.
