gnomad BS: regional uk slang (145* d) RE: BS: regional uk slang 27 Aug 21

I have this direct from Dave, the author of 'Egging...' as far a HE knew I'm from Hull and consequently ignorant of the phrase.
"'Egging' is playing outside. It derives from collecting bird's eggs (for food, times were hard then)."
He was right, in that I didn't know the term, but I was already an incomer in Hull.
