How to get out of an uncomfortable egg culture situation with this one simple trick.
Real talk: Calling people eggs is a violation of the egg prime directive, and is considered invalidating as you are trying to say that a person is not the gender they identify as, that their identity is invalid. Don’t call people eggs, like ever, it’s extremely uncool.
Wait when did “egg” in the context of gender and sexuality become a thing?
“You egg” is an old insult in New Zealand since at least the 1980s meaning you are a dork or loveable idiot.
Edit: there’s heaps of examples in Taika Waititi’s NZ films.
Also Shakespeare:
–Macbeth Act 4, Scene 2
I think if you make sure to call someone an “igg”, or preferably, a “bliddy igg”, then should still be fine
@porous_grey_matter I think I just need to make sure I only use it on other Kiwis.
