9 ..................... is eggs

[mallyh]

the saying says is eggs 

[elliemay1]

^ sorry! It's an old fashioned saying and uses improper grammar so ''is'' is correct!

[elliemay1]

//The dictionary says this phrase is old fashioned. It is a memorable expression because it employs improper grammar and has a pleasing hint of rustic dialect. It might also suggest an amusing corruption from the duller version “as sure as X is X” (“X”->“eggs”).//
