In Texas we have this saying. I have to explains it first. On the farm, if you have a chicken coop, you might go out in the morning to get the eggs and you'll find a few empties. You pick up the egg and underneath you see two holes. The yoke and everything is gone.

Well, you got yourself a dog that's so lazy it won't hunt. Instead it goes into the coop at night and puts its snout under the chicken and sucks out the egg. It just gets the egg on its tongue and lets it fall on its lower teeth and the yoke just flows onto the dogs tongue and that's that. So, we call that an egg sucking dog.

That's where the term egg sucker originates. It means a no good, lazy hound. You don't need no egg suckers around the farm so you gots to shoot that dog.

Well, that's kinda what I think about when I think about these Macroshaft boyz. Theyz just egg suckers. They don't do nuthin' just suck eggs.
