Why are you being so eggy?

[Disneydatknee88]

AIBU to hate this term? Whenever I'm angry at something DH says this (eggy meaning on my period). He seems to think the only excuse for being angry or stressed is that I am on my period. It is so condescending.

what a horrid assumption to make.

@bozna , I think OP's DH left primary school some time ago. That's the issue.

@Gusfringrules he constantly uses his wife's reproductive system in his insults and I'm the horrible one

Does it really matter if anyone else agrees with what the term means ? Clearly the op knows the way her dh means it . Fgs sometimes MN delights in being obtuse because somehow people think it makes them look superior. What a ridiculous belief.

I wouldn't accept this op , I fully admit this would elicit a strong reaction.

Not to mention is he really so puerile he enjoys and embraces being annoying ? He's a man child and honestly any attraction would dissappear quick.

It was always "Oggy" up here!

DH also says eggy, and for him it means irritable, argumentative. He's from the Midlands. I've asked him repeatedly to use a different word as I find it so annoying! But then I'm being eggy apparently. Nothing to do with my menstrual cycle though.

It isn’t what it means. 40 years ago it was said to boys as much as girls

Me and my sisters call eachother eggy if we're being moody, again I have never though of it being related to periods.

If he's just being annoying for the sake of it, ask him why he's being so childish.
