Dog dirts
When she was a little girl, my best pal went for a bike ride with her dad and sister.

They got to the local park, where there was a big hill that they loved to run down, so they dismounted and she and her sister began the climb.

"Last one down's a rotten egg" they (probably) said, and started running down the steep incline with all the glee a pair of little girls can muster

The glee was not to last, halfway down the hill, my mate slipped on one of those 'tan' coloured dog-eggs (you know the sort) and, as the momentum carried her on down the hill, it was smeared all up her leg, side, arm and even in her hair.

She howled tears of sheer stinky misery all the way to her nan's house, where she received a good scrubbing, but nothing could clean the stains from her memories :(

When I was a lad
it would have been, "last one down's a hairy kipper".

No, I don't know where we got that either.

Yup, hairy kippers here too
sounds much more macho than rotten egg

I assume, then
that 'rotten egg' was the girl's version of 'hairy kipper'

Though hairy kipper does sound like a euphamism for minge. Hmmm.

Oi - I'm a girl!
Hairy kipper appears to be an East of Scotland thing on current evidence?

From a sample size of two
I'd have to agree, WeeWitch.

But I hadn't actually thought about the possible meaning of the phrase. It's so obvious now too!

BUGGER!
Soz Wee Witch! I was thrown by K2k6's 'manly' explanation of the term :D

apology accepted Droog
mind you, I haven't been mistaken for a boy since I was 10 and got my hair cut short!

Haha
I just wrote a similar tale, but the fact this was a girl makes it seem funnier somehow :P
