I've just noticed this thread (it being Easter and all)

History: Oddly enough "egg" (aeg) is a scandinavian word (the old english word being "ei", dropped beacuse of confusion between "Ich" and "I").

Now, the Danish word for Easter is "paaske" (are we seeing a pattern here?).

So. In Lancashire and Yorkshire (the Danelaw) we have "paaske aeg" = "pace egg". Aha! :O)
