You are probably just a butt hurt double master, too! Laugh out loud. Maybe even a PhD! Rolling on the floor, laughing. Truth hurts, eggheads -- but you wouldn't know anything about that! Shaking my head.
Egghead is such an odd insult. Is the implication that their head is large due to excess intelligence, and somehow that is a negative? And by pointing it out as a negative, there is the implication that you don’t think you reflect that quality, so you’re inadvertently saying “I don’t like you brainiac, because you’re not a fool like me.”
I guess it’s pretty hard to insult people for traits that have been almost universally considered positive for the majority of human history.
