What's a Ham and Egger?

[sithlord]

Ron is always using this phrase as some sort of insult. I must admit it's usage is lost on me.<br />

[chili]

It just means an average joe. Wake up every morning, eat ham n eggs. Same as a straphanger.<br />

[sithlord]

I had a feeling that's what it meant, thanks.<br />

<p>I think it is meant to be derogative. I take it as being a drone. Someone who's no fun anymore. </p><p>Like Mojo. <br /></p>

[Freakshow]

On a completely unrelated note, my favorite breakfast sandwich is scrambled eggs and ham on a roll.&nbsp; I like the ham on there cold, though.&nbsp; Most delis look at me like I have three heads when I order it.&nbsp; <br />

[Doctor Z]

Eggs are good, but I've never enjoyed ham in the morning.

[blakjeezis]

The first place I heard it used was but Bobby &quot;The Brain&quot; Heenan. He would use it, generally, when describing a subpar wrestler or some hick in the audience. From what I understand, and I think I read this in one of his two books, the phrase spawned from the fact that ham and eggs was basically on every&nbsp; menu and therefore the easiest and least brain taxing thing to order. <br />

[Wrecked]

<p>origins, i dunno.</p><p>but what it means: i gotcha.</p><p>it does mean &quot;everyday joe&quot;, or &quot;regular average guy&quot;...but when a comic uses it it is a slightly derogatory term. it means you are a &quot;norm&quot;, or &quot;square&quot;, and not on a par with comics. kinda means &quot;not with it&quot;.</p>

Its a nickel and dimer.<br />

The 1st time i ever heard the term Ham and Egger was when Bobby Heenen used to call the fans that.

I've been meaning to ask it too, I thought it was directed towards all the midwest and southern states for some reason.

<p>speaking of phrases that ronnie uses all the time that are possibly ambiguous in meaning, what do you guys think he means when he keeps saying that ESD is a fucking incompetent moron?</p><p>i can't seem to figure it out <img src="http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/images/huh.gif" border="0" /></p>

[BrownTown]

Back when wrestling was real (the age of stretchers, not WWE sports entertainment) winners of matches were given a monetary purse as payment, and losers were given a ham &amp; egg breakfast the morning after the match for their effort. The name for the person who enjoyed&nbsp; this &quot;consolation prize&quot; is synonymous with &quot;loser&quot;.<br />

<p>I like when Fez called that guy a Light Counter. Ham and Egger, Hayseed, and Light Counter are all great insults.</p>

<font size="2">if you can't spot the ham and egger in the first half-hour...<br /></font>

[CofyCrakCocaine]

Ham 'n' eggs? Sounds like a great idea. I'll get started on those right now.<br />
