To not know what this means?

[Beautifulblue]

I'm intrigued... think I've learnt most of mumsnet abbreviations now but not sure what a biscuit means!! Help a girl out?

No comment

I think it means 'come back when you've got a real problem ' or 'stop wasting my time '.

“You take the biscuit!” Means someone has said something very, rude, selfish, surprising

Biscuit is used as shorthand for "no comment"

It's a biscuit? I thought it was a flower.

Never knew that was a biscuit!

I thought it was ‘feed the troll!’ 😂

It always makes me want to nibble on a jammy dodger.

Always makes me think of a bumhole

'Calm down and have a biscuit'

I thought it was the Japanese flag.

Onto the next one..... Can someone explain the "is this a reverse" type comment?

Gordon Brown was on Mumsnet and some numpty asked him 'what's your favourite biscuit'. He wouldn't comment. Thats why its shorthand for 'no comment'.

It's a tit, surely?

It's something to be dunked into tea or coffee.

But it’s not used as no comment but as an insult to posters...

Isn't the reverse thingy when someone posts a scenario, being the victim, but in RL they are actually the peretrator- who in their story they have described as the third person??

I don't think it's as polite as no comment, when someone says have a biscuit, it's more like go fuck yourself. The poster isn't being nice to you.

I thought it was a pineapple ring

I've never understood "reverse " threads. Why do people do it? What is the point?

A reverse is this

My mum did x y and z. What do you think of it.

When actually it's the mum posting. It's that kind of thing, when you reverse who you are in the op.

I always read it like "here, have a biscuit to cheer you up because your problem is so very sad" but sarcastically because the problem is actually a load of meaningless crap. So it's like the sarky equivalent of flowers for people who don't actually have real problems.

Reverse is when someone has fallen out with someone else and posts it from the other point of view in a distorted way so that people will agree.

It's certainly nothing nice. It was originally used to mean no comment, but these days it's mostly used when someone thinks a poster is deliberately being goady or a bit of an arse.
