Dear teachers,

Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?

I hear he laid an egg with the Five Thousand Club last night.

lay an egg = fail, especially in a public performance; make a humiliating error

Thank you for your efforts.

Regards,

V.
