Eggy
While meaning "irritating," "annoying," "uncomfortable," or "awkward," the word typically describes a state of being and no longer bears a direct relation to actual eggs. For philological purposes, it can be noted that all these denotations date as far back as 1982, as used in Naperville, IL, USA.
"He was extremely eggy in his response to me"; "Have you met that eggy lady?"; "I'm feeling a bit eggy today"; "The practice room was cold and eggy."

I boycott the word "eggy" and any impending dictionary additions of such a bullshit word.
safe to say that the above comment is EGGY indeed!
Only thing "eggy" here is your feet
i think you've got the definition wrong: my feet aren't so much "eggy" as "swamp-thingy" (tho your feet comment is, consistent with the other, eggy to the last).
I will conceed that your feet are more swampy than "eggy." Nonetheless, you are neither "eggy" nor swampy but are both annoying and irritating. See, it feels good to use actual words. Hugs!
Submission cancelled...ouch.
FEEDBACK to UrbanDictionary.com:
It is EGGY that my submission was CANCELLED before review; it offers evidence of the possible origins of a particular usage, or at least evidence of an early usage. Is this a dictionary or not? Perhaps not an OED.... but still interesting, so worth resubmitting to it.

As one of the original users of the word "eggy," (dating back to the early '80s at Jefferson Jr. High School, Naperville, IL) I'd always felt that eggy also meant uncool, or unhip, or, well, anything Andy didn't like. I've always been able to use it in a sentence (and still use it to this day. For example: "Is John eggy?" See? So, of course the editors are eggy. Next question.
Eggy is as "EGGY" does. leave it at that, and always remember to eat your gluten.
