To ask what the biscuits are?

[Picnic2223]

Just that really, I've been around here a little while now and have pretty much worked out the lingo however the still confuses me?

That's a jammie dodger.
People use it when people are being a bit OTT or a bit Jammie.
I think anyway.

It's the picture equivalent of someone tutting and saying,
"Really? Yeah right, do fuck off"

Yeah pretty much what pp said. Something along the lines of 'really? That takes the biscuit.'

Hmm I thought it was to do with a politicians favourite biscuit question or something?

They represent contempt for another poster's comments.

Didn't it appear after Gordon Brown was asked what his favourite biscuit was on a Mumsnet chat. And something went a bit weird and it was on the news that night?

I always thought it was kind of a pat on the head. "Have a biscuit and really think about what you said. and grow up "

Or something like that.

I think officially they're supposed to be " no comment" but I've always used them as a pictorial equivalent of oh ffs you're being utterly pathetic/ridiculous and if I were to write what I really thought I'd get deleted.

in my naivety I've been offering them with and !! Whoops.

I always thought they were the equivalent of when IRL someone is being whiny/unreasonable/demanding/deliberately difficult and you say "what do you want? A biscuit??" as if they were a small child.

It's a sort of general dismissive "you're being childish" thing.

I see it as a 'Oh shut the fuck up, you utter, utter idiot'

I've always thought of it as 'shove a biccy in ya gob'

though if you pair it with the tea - then it's a nice thing.

(though in the smiley list it's listed as no comment)

It means no comment officially but is suffused with all sorts of meaning according to context.

I thought others used them as a two finger insult.

To me they are a tit.

They also look a bit like a cat's bum .

I give a to be nice. Sorry if I offended anyone.
I thought could be taken either way, either genuine or sarky.

I wish there was a translation of all the lingo for us noobs...

I think it means "no comment"

'No comment' after a Gordon Brown webchat when he refused to name his favourite biscuit. It's become a PA fuck off sign.

I thought they were doughnuts to eat whilst reading a thread which is going to be long and controversial
