I would rather eat the egg and just use a warm compress (like a warm towel or cloth). But why an egg? I wonder how this came to be used.

My guess is someone's family dog was out of fur.  Such events are often causes for mankind to advance medicine lol. :D

It is an old thing- to use the egg for heat: it is rounded, it keeps the heat for quite a long time because of its shell besides you can you it.
A warm towel gets cold too soon

I grew up with an Armenian Genocide surviving grandmother.  To her dying day, she would do things like calling and saying "Put daddy in the phone", and phonetic spelling. such as Happy Birthday Ban on my card.  Her words were simple and smart at the same time.  It was that simplicity and and wisdom that led me to where I am today with a beautiful Ukrainian Woman. 

On various meetings with English speaking girls I have heard things like...

"Ben Can you get me jeanses"

"Are you angry?"  Why would I be angry?  You're stomach is growling... We went for sushi.

Or on my last visit with Tanya,  her English is very limited... she got up in the morning and said "Womens room".  When it was my turn...I couldn't resist... I said, Womens Room!

I look forward to the future to come!

With my girl, it would seem that I do things to her:

You do me feel nervous
You do me angry
You do me jealous
You do me smile now   (Thank God there was a positive there!)

Oh and I'm still trying to figure out exactly what it means when she says "without the hysterics"

the verbs " do" and  "make" are translated into Russian same way -"делать"
In her case though she just forgot to use "make" instead of "do" (just because their meaning are very close in Russian)
Same happens to "hear" and "listen" and many other cases. It is just the influence of Russian on English

Thanks for clearing that up Doll.
Personally, I think its very endearing and hope it never changes.
Any help, so to speak, by what she means when she uses the word hysterics?

I thought maybe she had a different meaning for it as she is the only one who gets hysterical  ;D

Another day with Steviej ...

[Wife comes home from being somewhere .. maybe a shopping mall ...]

Me:  "High sweetie"

She: "American culture doesn't produce any attractive women .." 

Me:  "Really ... what do you mean?"

She: "They are loud. They try to walk like sportsmen. And clothes .... awful!"

Me:  "I wonder why ..."

She: "Don't any of these girls have mothers? Didn't anyone ever teach them anything? They just grow like wild grass .."

Me:  "Well, I'm very proud of my wife . :)  "

She: "Really?"

Me:  "Oh yes. I'm probably the most proud husband in the state"

She: "Just the state ..?"

Me:  "Well, er.. the whole country. The entire world!"

She: (making very flirtatious smile ..  :-*  )

She is not jealous, this is the easiest way to seem better on someone else's expenses. Very Russian habit

Here is another one " I don't want to sit on your neck "

It means that she doesn't want to excessively burden you, (I think)

Maybe someone can shed some light on it

I have heard this saying in Russian, German, Hungarian, and American English.  Your translation is correct.  The other translation is "I don't want to nag you."

Bit cryptic, Phil. If you're referring to Italian, the only related expression I can think of is "Alla (not sulla) faccia tua", i.e. literally "In your face", a sort of"So there/take that/Nyaah", and its corresponding Milanese variant "Ciapa sù e porta a cà", "Collect that and take it home with you". No reference to sitting, either ::).

I asked where her son was?  Watching Vinny Poe was the answer.  What is it about?  You know Vinny! You Do!  I walk in to see Winny the Poo.  I always watch for the v really being a w, but that one got me.

Ahh! Yes, I know now who you are talking about.  I am a bit stumped now though.  Usually when I catch a mistake, then I will just bring up the word a few times in conversation and she learns it.  We talked about it, and she liked that theory because it did not make her feel insecure or I was being condescending.

I have to this point found no way to bring up ole Winny in a random conversation.  So I have now planned a trip to Disney in the near future.  I pray she does not catch on and start saying she saw a corwet on TV.  A corvette is just not in the budget.

A Canadian hockey player years ago used to tell the media that he was bilingual: "I speak two languages: English and profanity." Unfortunately, my own similar credentials were on display over the holiday break when my wife and I visited our favorite banya. After a shot of Russki Standard and a Baltika 9, I complained to my wife that nearly all of the banya's clientele that day were men. Later that week, during dinner with my family, my wife was recounting our holiday activities and mentioned we had a great time at the banya "even though it was a sausage fest."

I don't know about you others, but whenever my wife uses profanity in English or says something off-color, the source of her vocabulary can always, always be traced back to me.  :cluebat:

Sorry, bit confused here. I usually go the banya either with male friends or only with my wife. I never go to the banya with other women. Are banya rules different in NY  ;)

The ones we've visited are all co-ed, usually there are a lot of couples and single women. This particular banya is the best we've visited. The few in Brooklyn we've visited were all co-ed but not as clean. One had CONDEMNED signs on some of the wet rooms and the staff had artfully taped white sheets of 8x11 paper over the warnings for quick removal if a NYC health inspector showed up  :P
