My stupid sister apparently took sweets from a pick and mix while I was there, told my mum and now my mum is screaming at me as if it's my fault. And she said that my grandad said we had sweet in our hands, I rang him and he said he only saw Tamsin so my mum basically lied and twisted it to make me look bad.
So now I have pretty much no one to go anywhere with.

i saw a stupid TV commercial this evening and it showed a man with a replica (i presume) of a fried egg stuck to his face, and the verbal blurb had the words "egg on his face" in it.
i only heard the words "egg on his face" because i was not interested, but then it occurred to me that the ad was supposed to be funny, so i thought that it may have been better to have a raw egg splattered on his face with no explanation of how it got there rather than the low level representation of a fried egg stuck to his face to ensure that the makers of the ad made it's attempted humor understandable to the widest range of people within a catchment area that has a depth of 70 iq points.

anyway, the real point of this post (as lengthy as it's preamble was) is that i can not calculate how such a saying came into existence, let alone how it has become recognized and used
worldwide.

my understanding of "he had egg on his face" is (from my interpretation of contextual experience) that "he was proven wrong after strenuously trying to convince others to perform an action that he was performing, and has eventually suffered from".

that is the definition i have surmised from hearing that phrase used in various contexts, and i am led to wonder "how does the phrase 'egg on his face' convey any notion of what it is designed to convey in a literal sense?"

most "sayings" have some understandable geneses. for example, "i'm home and hosed" is derived from the fact that racehorses are always hosed down after the race, and so the saying it infers that the other horses are still running the race, but "i am home and hosed"

no such deductive intuition presents itself with the saying "egg on his face". maybe it is derived from when people threw eggs at people who were publicly restrained in stocks in the 1500's or something.

the most recurrent theme i have ever encountered as to what people threw at the heads of people restrained in stocks was rotten tomatoes. i am not sure that i can calculate the abstract logic behind the phrase "he has egg on his face" that explains the foundation of my contextual supposition of what it means..

most recent creepy guy: so i was postering in arncliff, south of sydney, for the next palestine rally because the area is an arab area and i am walking past this butcher and the man inside makes eye contact with me. i walk round the corner of the building and he follows to the side and lifts the curtain to look at me. he then walks to the back door and asks me where i am from and invites me in to talk. i think he might want a poster even though this is irrational as he cannot see that i have posters in my bag(sally-anne moment). he starts to chat me up. he tries to suss out my religion and ends up having to ask me directly what it is because my mothers last name and locality gives nothing away. he says he wants my number and i refuse to give it. he says he wants to help me and i refuse his help. he then says that, if i want it, i can have pills, ecstacy, for free. i say i do not do drugs and he replies that they will relax me. i refuse them but he keeps trying to push his pills on me and keeps trying to pry my number from me. i do not understand why he would want to give me drugs to relax me. it sounds suss. i was frustrated because i had a schedule to keep and things to do.
