Hey, guys. Simplify. A Google search on the
phrase "suck eggs" leads
to a clear explanation of the historical use of the phrase, dating
back to the 16th century in English, and older in other languages.

in learning about (for that phrase, anyway :) ... sucking eggs.
It address, instead, the concept of teaching people something they
already know.
