There are six comments total, seven now I’ve made one, what are you on about?

Simple; it’s a thug’s game, played by thugs and watched by thugs. (Source; grew up in ‘80s Britain - football violence ruined this game forever and scenes like this prove the point year after year.)

Yeah I got it too, but to only native English speakers, licks eggs is mostly only literal.

I still like ingverklerten as an idea though, even if it is wrong. Like the other one we tried, ‘glockenende’ to mean ‘bellend’

That’s assuming you know that Germans use eggs to mean testicles. I only learned this trying to joke with a German colleague that the red headed guy in our office was ‘ingver-klerten’ Without realising that they don’t use ginger to mean a colour, or nuts to mean balls/testicles. In English ‘licking eggs’ is just a slow way to have breakfast.
