I have never heard the expression and am now wondering if the executives faces are covered in raw egg? Is it scrambled? Sunny side up? The German doesn't know.
dont over think it. visualize someone with a raw uncooked yoke broken over their face...they look stupid.
its an older meme from before the internet but, it still clears port authority on occasion.
Yes this "meme" predates the Internet by just a tad.
With egg on one’s face means means appearing ridiculous or foolish because of one’s actions. The phrase with egg on one’s face is an American idiom, though the origins are murky. One possible source goes back to popular theater during the 1800s and early 1900s.
don't over think itIf German engineers are anything to go by, you're asking the wrong person to not over think!
I misread "sunny" as "scummy" at first
