Hurling oval missiles
Egg throwing is the act of hurling eggs at a person, building, or vehicle, typically as vandalism, protest, or expression of contempt.
Politicians and public figures sometimes get egged during appearances: The candidate was pelted with eggs by angry protesters.
Throwing eggs at houses is a common Halloween prank.
The mess and stench make eggs effective projectiles for expressing displeasure.
