Probably why you never really use 蛋 alone. It’s always 鸡蛋 or 蛋蛋 in my experience (one of the few funny expressions my kids learnt when we lived over there :,D )

Would work in German as well. Ei is colloquial used for testicle. And for a lot of other languages too, I believe.

also: this is from the end of The Easter Smurf

it seems the translator misunderstood the last line as “mine exploded!”
