The joke plays on the double meaning of "lost" and the context of food, specifically eggs. When someone says "what you say when lost," it sets up an expectation for a witty or clever phrase. The punchline "not scrambled or fried" humorously suggests that instead of expressing confusion, the person is referring to eggs that are in their original state, which is "not scrambled" or "not fried." This wordplay creates a lighthearted twist on the idea of being lost.
