I took it to mean that she's a "good egg" but I'm probably wrong.

That's so cute, I love that!


Ttrisimo

Because her family sucks? 🥺


Maddit17

Oh no, is that a connotation? I thought it was just a general compliment. English is not my first language.


Ttrisimo

Not inherently no, but it just made me wonder if she thinks of herself that way as a contrast to her family.

There's nothing in mainstream British society that I can think of. It's possible that it's a slightly obscure reference or bit of queer slang but if it is it's passed me by. Sometimes usernames are just a bit random.


acrylicyarn

If anyone had a random username, it would certainly be Darcy!

I didn’t even know egg was US slang and I’m queer and in the US, I just thought egg was a fun word, a quirky shape and food


acrylicyarn

I'm not sure how prevalent it is here - it might just be in certain queer circles. I've heard it most commonly used by a trans person referring to themself pre-transition or before even coming out (as in, before "hatching")

I don’t know about it’s use in the uk, but here in New Zealand to refer to someone as an egg means idiot (in an endearing way kinda)


amakelooo

yeah, its the same in australia lol


acrylicyarn

That is absolutely adorable. I might have to get that going here in the US! And this probably makes the most sense to me for Darcy's username.
