That's funny, that's the brand of MMA shirts my brother NWP, buys me.

I've even worn a few once or twice for the same reasons, no one has any idea it's a MMA gear company like Tapout.

Bore off has become a mid level insult in the UK in recent years, probably comes from some vapid TV sit-com.

Egg might be a variation on weeaboo -white on the outside, asian on the inside?

Dunno never heard it myself.

Maybe it's an inside joke amongst chunners.

If it is, it's about as effective as the triangle stance. Maybe it's supposedly funny, cos bore sounds like boil. Such levity.

I only know b/c I've seen Josh Barnett interviews where he's at a thing promoting them. Otherwise I would have guessed motorcycle or kitchen knife.

Now that's a faaaaaaaaaar better insult than some egg reference.

Hmmm, maybe it's meant to mean hard on the outside soft in the middle? Dunno, beer logic in process.

possibly a corruption of boil off you egg, like "that's my bag", becoming "my bad".

MMA wear for fun as a brand rather than MMA cos I am going to kill you brand.

(Actually "punch" does some pretty good stuff) For an Australian brand. Damn good shorts.
