Too funny, Edwin. That's egg-zactly what I told Mr. Egghead himself. He insists it's a genuine compliment. I guess I have to take his word for it.

It is a complement, just not the one you want.

More like not the one I was expecting, based on the level of interest shown. I'm okay with it, though. I have a new friend. Can't beat that.

So we're thinking "good egg" is the female version of "nice guy?"

Not at all. My grandmother was as likely to say "He is a good egg" as "She is a good egg." It seemed to apply to both genders equally.

I don't like eggs. They're slimey.

Either you are starting with rotten eggs or you are not cooking them correctly.

I also think it applies to both genders equally. And it is a genuine compliment. It was just, in this case, the timing and delivery of the comment made it seem equal to being a "nice guy". It's all good, though. The "complimentor" is a good egg too.

What are your likely thoughts of a woman if you were to use this expression to describe her? Thanks!

That she is a good person, a good heart.
