I came to read this manga because of Liberta. I now understand where the 'That's so hard boiled!' phrase came from.
Yup, that's where the running joke in that thread came from!
The origin of the actual phrase, though, doesn't come from this manga or Liberta. (It doesn't have anything to do with cooking eggs, either, hehe.)
It's referring to an early 90s Hong Kong action movie titled "Hard Boiled", and refers to people, situations, etc., that appear to be super macho, tough, hardcore cool, and so forth, much like the movie itself. So there's some random trivia. :)
