A term derived from the movie "Django Unchained", is the act of a slave breaking chicken eggs.
The result of break eggs is that the salve will be dragged out, tied to a tree, and will be whipped brutally.
Slave Master: Lets see if you break eggs after this whipping.
Django: John Brittle!
To try something else, fail, then try again and maybe again until you actually succeed.
You need to break a few eggs to make an omelet.
