EGG EXPRESSIONS (ROTTEN EGG): meaning and examples

Good morning / afternoon / evening everyone. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin. I hope everyone had an excellent weekend. 

This week we are going to look at expressions with the word EGG in them.

The first EGG expression of the week is: Rotten Egg

Definition: used figuratively to refer to someone who is thoroughly, intrinsically inclined to behave badly and cause trouble.

Example 1: Jack's parents did everything they could to steer him on the right path, but I think he might just be a rotten egg.  

Example 2: When David started hanging out with a few rotten eggs at school, his academic marks became very bad.

So we use rotten egg to refer to someone who stands out as being bad. Can you write a logical sentence with today's expression? Post your sentence on one of our social media sites (Facebook or Twitter), and we will give you feedback as soon as possible.  

I hope you have a great day, and we'll see you tomorrow with another egg expression.

All the best!
