Les and Moravc,
Further to �camaraderie�, I just consulted my Petit Robert and the French term itself comes from the Spanish �camarada� (�chambr�e� � sharing a room) from Latin �camera�.
PS I double-czeched this so I wouldn �t end up with egg on my coupon.

to egg on sth= to consider a decision for a period of time before putting it to practice. synonym: to sleep on sth e.g. Some people said they wanted to abandon the POD, but I think they should egg on it a little more and then they�ll see that we all love games like that!

Well, T-Rex made it big with their seventies hit "Get it On" (RIP Marc Bolan)
In 2011, T-Cat is trying to beat that with "Egg it On"

Glad you liked it Cheezels
I have another definition as well - Disco Duck (courtesy of Rick Dees and his Cast of Idiots) showed how to "egg it on" too back in the midst of mid seventies disco fever
