[edit] Looney Tunes' Egghead Jr.
In his first short, Broken Leghorn, Foghorn tried to kill the little guy!
[edit] Adlai Stevenson
The picture certainly should be there. Why didn't hyou discuss it on the talk page first? As I said i nthe edit summary, Stevenson being called an egghead was perhaps the most important instance of the use of the word. The caption does not in fact identify Stevenson as actually being an egghead. If you would like to put up a picture of Nixon, be my guest.

- The picture is bigger than on his biography page! Shouldn't we do something about that (i.e. make it bigger on the bio page to accent his forehead?) Kit Cloudkicker 00:27, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] U.S. self-absorbed
"In the slang of the United States, egghead was" ... a look at the inter-wiki links shows rather obviously that similar terms exist in other countries and other languages. It may have a special history in the U.S. that is worth mentioning but the article should start so self-deceptive. Guidod (talk) 22:23, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] "Was"?
I personally feel the the "was" isn't really the case here, as I can recall the notion of referring people who are too intelligent as "eggheads" →AzaToth 23:48, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
