Abstract
The origin of the term 'hard boiled' is comparatively recent and it belongs to the New York school of slang. The term originated in Jack Doyle's billiard academy in the heart of Broadway. The term was invented by Jack Doyle, who described a certain class of pool and billiard players as hard boiled eggs, meaning tight in their play, close in their finances, and in everything else. The expression, however, carries no meaning of viciousness or dishonesty.
