have egg on your face
* Definition
Ashamed; caught in an embarassing situation.
1) Jim really had egg on his face after he lost the bicycle race to a 10 year old girl.

This phrase refers to the embarassment you feel when the eggs you are eating for breakfast end up on your face. (Apparently this used to be a real problem for men with beards.)
