It’s exactly what you felt when you wrote the second line of the question.
It’s to admit that you were wrong or somehow inadequate.

“to accept that you have to do something that you think is embarrassing or that you think you are too good to do. Swallow your pride and call your daughter to tell her you’re sorry.”
It’s not a shame you don’t know. It would only be a shame if you didn’t ask, and continued on with not knowing.
Cheers.

It refers to the rare occurence when, in a drought, a pride of lions run out of every available food source and it falls upon the dominant male to eat every other member of the pride so that he may carry on his bloodline elsewhere.
The lion literally “swallows his pride”.

Admit you are wrong and say sorry. Then get on with life. Do not let pride get in the way of a good relationship.
