I was looking up information about poached eggs and got to wondering if cracking the code comes from something related to egg cracking.
The 'crack' part of the phrase does refer to breaking so 'breaking the code'. There are lots of definitions online.
But who knows the rest, given all the crazy retrievals on google. And the only article with some sense of origin is from usdictionary.com so is dumbed down - for example where does the expression come from? It has its roots in cryptography, with no dates or first references.
So we'll leave the eggs and crack the code and visit the tulip field.
Definitely a Dutch connection in this growing field.
