I’ve heard dippy eggs used to refer to just a fried egg over medium/soft though?

All right, I typed a whole thing in your defense and then wikipediaed before posting, and apparently a good portion of SEPA calls sunny side up "dippy" and over easy is something different.

I grew up in western suburbs of Philly and my family called over easy/medium "dippy" while sunny side eggs were something fancy that we didn't do at all.

I feel like a stranger.

But now both you and I know. I'm not sure why you were downvoted when someone could have just updated you but whatever, reddit.

I have never heard anyone in SEPA say dippy for sunny side up. I’m an hour outside of Philly, and dippy has always meant over easy/medium in my area too. Where are all the people in SEPA who say dippy for sunny side? Maybe wiki is wrong lmao.

Over easy is flipped so that the egg white becomes a little case around the yolk. Sunny side up leaves the yolk exposed

Yes. I now realize i had that explanation in the post i wrote but erased, but didn't rewrite it for the text i ended up posting. Thanks for the further clarification.
