Egging someone on means to encourage someone to perform an act, usually an act of dubious merit such as a dare. As for its origins, it has nothing to do with eggs. Rather, the term is a corruption of the term "edging on" (as in coercing someone with the help of a blade): a term of Old Norse origin.
