the water that hardens the egg softens the potato

The water that hardens the egg softens the potato is a Russian saying that means everyone reacts to stressful circumstances differently. It is often used in the context of trauma.
"Rachel's mom just died and a week later she's back to school. Meanwhile, I'm strugling to get out of bed, just because my hamster died. I feel so shitty."

"Dude, don't beat yourself up about it. The water that hardens the egg softens the potato. "

Popped Egg

A popped egg** is a cataclysmic gym related event when a steroidal gym man gets a Humpty Dumpty Pump(ty) but instead of dumpting he pops like a microwaved egg. The peasant non-popped eggs look on with a combination of awe and terror.

**Not to be confused with “yoked” which literally, literally, has nothing to do with this!
Oy, look at me boiz, I’m a fu*#^ng popped egg!!!

Oy, look that fella there, he must of popped his egg!!!

The man writhed in pain as he realized what he had done — guffawing at his works in the mirror lathered in man sweat, he realized he had finally popped his egg.

Oy, ya better slow down on that lat pull down or ye may become a popped egg, Arrrr!!!
