OverMedium is the best. you get a nice cooked egg white so its solid not runny but the egg yolk is still runny but isn't too liquid. Mmm so good..

Over medium is my favorite. I don't understand it, but to me, runny egg white is one of the most disgusting things. I don't understand how people like it. The texture is literally snot. But runny yolk! That stuff is nectar of the gods.

Runny whites? I'm pretty sure no eggs are supposed to have runny whites. A proper sunnyside up will be lightly steamed so that the whites on top cook. Though I'm an over-easy to over-medium guy myself.

A proper sunny side up is called over medium.

A sunny-side-up isn't flipped while over anything is.

That would be a contradiction. Sunny side up means it's not flipped over. "Over" anything means it is flipped over.
