Question

Egg on Your Face to be very embarrassed or humiliated for something foolish that you did or said

Accepted Answer

When Doug found out he had scored a touchdown for the other team, he had egg on his face. This American saying is probably from the 1950s. It could have come from the image of a sloppy eater, humiliated because he or she has food, like egg, on his or her face. Or it could have come from the custom of rude audiences in the old days throwing raw eggs at performers they didn't like. To be standing on a stage in front of an angry crowd with egg on your face must have been mortifying.
