The Oldies Thread

[Bluerover]

Nobody says 'eggy' any more, as in - "I told him to move his bike and he got all eggy with me"

Edit; probably been replaced by 'agro'

As a teenager, there was a time when someone getting aggressive was asked "are you gettin' bleedin' fresh?'. Usually followed by pushing and shoving and maybe a few punches.

I never hear it anymore - Google helps with this:

Yup. Heard that said many a time to describe someone who turns awkward.
I use the term eggy to describe the discomfort felt when the football hit you straight in the bollocks.

Well, if you're bald they've got to grow somewhere. Lucky they're not sprouting from your elephant and castle.
Personally I've acquired a very hairy back which normally I forget about but which still shocks me when glimpsed in a mirror. It's like it belongs to someone else.
