Yelling at the Eggs

Pointless, futile, fruitless; An exercise in futility; exerting useless effort; a contemporary update of "pissing in the wind."

i.e, standing in front of a microwave oven, screaming "Hurry up!!"

Etymology: the October 2009 declaration of CDC Director Thomas Frieden, regarding the slow growth and rollout of H1N1 vaccines which are incubated in eggs: "Even if you yell at the vaccine strains, they don't grow faster."
The Board of Directors has already made up its mind. You can go in there if you want to present your side, but I'm telling you, you'll just be 'yelling at the eggs' if you do.

tube egg

A possibly mythical pre-cooked and packaged cylindrical boiled egg. Allegedly available in supermarkets in Asia specifically Japan although never actually spotted in the wild during multiple trips.

Highly sought-after and coveted by my workmate Kevin. The man will never give up hope of finding some.
