How did the saying "Bad dancer interfere eggs" and what is her secret

We believe that the famous saying "Bad dancer interfere with eggs" not quite decent. Someone even sure this is paraphrased folk wisdom, in the original version which stated that "bad dancer hinder legs." But this is not so in fact we are talking about eggs, and chicken, and I came up with the saying, not here, but in medieval Europe.

Once upon a time in the countries of Western Europe existed fun "dance with the eggs." It was not just a dance, but a competition dancers in skill and dexterity. The history of these dance parties reached our time with vintage prints and works of Dutch and German painters.

There were two versions of "Dancing with the eggs." One of them, easier, meant to dance between lying on the floor of eggs that could not be broken. The second version is entertainment more intricate dancers had to roll out feet egg from a shallow bowl, and then turn the pot and neat to cover her egg. And all this is done without interrupting dance!

Of course, the fulfillment of these tasks demanded of virtuoso dance not only craftsmanship, but also a lot of focus. But how much fun was received by the audience! It is believed that dancing with eggs often arranged in weddings and engagements, when guests stay sober. Danced so in the 16-18 centuries, not only peasants, but also to know and sometimes royals.

In some places such dancing was part of the rite of betrothal — it had to dance a guy with a girl that their aspirations were recognized as sincere, and the Union is considered valid. Still — dance among eggs required from the partners of the unity of intentions and the most concerted movements.

Well, bad dancer eggs have always interfered with and the final performances of the whole usually do. In the early 19th century in France, Germany and the Netherlands saying about the dancers of the egg and became very popular. Especially her loved cartoonists working in the political arena.

In the second half of the 19th century, a saying came to Russia and immediately became popular in aristocratic circles. But the people, insufficiently familiar with the culture of Western Europe, it immediately began to interpret incorrectly, which stuck to her reputation quite delicate jokes.

But the phrase "balls of steel" may well mean what you think it is. Especially if we are talking about the master of kung fu Wei Jobina about the crotch which can be break a leg.
