Oh just my smart alec son Paul when he was 10. He actually kept a straight
face when he said it. It was his youthful stab at arrogant folks, to which I
quoted what Banquo said to his nephew Fleance in MacBeth: "Silence, you egg!"

The line is "What! You egg. Young fry of treachery!", and it's spoken by a murderer hired by Macbeth just before he kills Macduff's son. Fleance is Banquo's son.
