I thought it was a biscuit to feed the troll

😊 so did I

He refused to tell us his favourite biscuit so it came to mean " no comment".

DamnAndDashIt · 15/05/2023 21:20

It was from when Gordon Brown wouldn't confirm to us what his favourite biscuit was.

Funny that it was controversial enough to make the headlines back then!

I've always read it as no comment, just here to watch this kick off...

Oh yes that was it the Gordon Brown webchat.
Tho I can't remember the context.

ShowOfHands · 15/05/2023 21:17

It's definitely no comment and follows a webchat with - I think - Gordon Brown.

Interesting that everyone seems to interpret it differently 😆

It means ‘no comment’. It tends to be used when someone posts something fake or goady that doesn't deserve a proper comment.

It means 'that takes the biscuit'

Barstools123 · 15/05/2023 21:13

Hm I usually read it to mean 'bollocks' 'bore off' or 'piss off' or a bit of all three
