Flowers aren't bad. They're a nice thing to give.

tippytap · 18/04/2016 20:07

It's a biscuit.

People aren't being nice.

YellowTulips · 18/04/2016 20:07

Because Biscuitis a biscuit not a Thanks

TwentyCupsOfTea · 18/04/2016 20:08

Flowersare kind. Biscuitis a biscuit and is reserved for goady fuckers mostly.
Although occasionally pops up in reference to a genuine snack.

CrookedTiara · 18/04/2016 20:08

That doesn't look remotely like a flower, OP. Unless there are Jammy Dodger-shaped flowers and I've just missed them...

I thought it was a grapefruit cut in half with a cherry in the middle! Blush

mrssmith79 · 18/04/2016 20:11

I guess it could be misconstrued, it's quite gerbera-esque Biscuit I suppose.

Skittlesss · 18/04/2016 20:13

Omg I thought it was a flower!!!

Now you mention it it does look a bit like a pineapple ring with a cherry in it. Very 70s.

I gave flowers today on mn. I never give flowers, but it was most definitely a nice gesture rather than sarcastic or whatever else you think it might be.

Oh I see. Never given anyone the biscuit.

FurryDogMother · 18/04/2016 20:15

I've always thought of it as a cat's bum.

ohidoliketobe · 18/04/2016 20:17

Ahh. Brilliant.
I've always seen it as a jammy dodger and see it's use as "have a biscuit and shut the fuck up".

Skittlesss · 18/04/2016 20:18

Haha makes sense now. I thought it was a bit weird to give a flower to someone who was being a turd.

TooOldForGlitter · 18/04/2016 20:20

I actually can see how it looks like a flower!

Elle80 · 18/04/2016 20:21

I always though this Biscuit was a tit (!) sorry

RunswickBay · 18/04/2016 20:21
Grin I don't normally admit this but it took me ages to work out what ds and dd meant.
DeriArms · 18/04/2016 20:22

Now I feel stupid, I always thought it was a tit! Need glasses

Catmuffin · 18/04/2016 20:23

MissBeaHaving · 18/04/2016 20:25

MissBeaHaving · 18/04/2016 20:26

Skittlesss · 18/04/2016 20:27
