    Wikipedia:

    North Americans use many different terms to describe fried eggs, including:

    • A style known simply as 'fried' — eggs are fried on both sides with the yolks broken until set or hard.
    • 'Sunny side up' — cooked only on one side; yolk is liquid; the egg white is set. This is often known simply as 'eggs up'. Gently splashing the hot cooking oil or fat on the sunny side uncooked white, i.e., basting, may be done to thoroughly cook the white. Covering the frying pan with a lid during cooking (optionally adding a cover and half-teaspoon of water just before finishing) allows for a less "runny" egg, and is an alternative method to flipping for cooking an egg over easy (this is occasionally called 'sunny side down').
    • 'Over easy' or 'over light', cooked on both sides; the yolk is a light runny and the egg white is fully cooked. "Over easy" fried eggs are also commonly referred to as dippy eggs or dip eggs by Marylanders, by Pennsylvania Dutch persons living in central Pennsylvania and those living around them, mainly due to the practice of dipping toast into the yolk while eating.
    • 'Over medium' — cooked on both sides; the yolk is of medium consistency and the egg white is thoroughly cooked.
    • 'Over well' — cooked on both sides until the yolk has solidified.
    • 'Over hard' or 'hard' — cooked on both sides with the yolk broken until hard.
    • 'Overcook' — cooked on both sides until the egg white and yolk have hardened and started to brown.

    Yeah that sounded like a form letter.
