to have thought that the biscuit emoji was a sunflower

[EleanorShellstrop100]

and always wondered why people post sunflowers when other posters are being goady?

All this time.

What an idiot.

In my defence it seemed perfectly reasonable that a parenting site would have a nipple emoji.

Thank god it wasn't just me @EL2019

ooooohbetty We are the only ones confessing. There must be more!

Especially when they get two biscuits

Wee Jeemy Dodger

Ha! These replies made me laugh out loud (especially the one about thinking the poo emoji was the head of a brown hen! ) Feeling much better to know I’m not the only one

Hahaha I can’t believe you thought it was a nipple 😂 @EL2019 ! But now you mention it I think it looks more like a nipple than a biscuit!

I also thought it was a flower when I first started using the site, and gave it this look when told it was supposed to be a biscuit.

It does indeed mean no comment but has evolved slightly to mean "I am not even dignifying that with a response you goady fuckwit".

Once upon a time a normal response to an op was "4". Maybe we should resurrect that. And "parp".

4 and parp? Could you elaborate, please, Show?

Though parp has reminded me that I used to think

Err I also thought it was a sunflower until right now!

Tbh I'm none the wiser about what it means even with that cleared up .

Why does a biscuit mean no comment?!

I used to think the turd emoji was the head of a brown hen

This has got me laughing like an absolute drain!

I used to think it was a bun and that people used it to start a bun fight.

If it helps, I used to think that Hovis biscuits were shaped like little houses.

They’re bread loaves. Like Hovis bread.

I thought it was a sunflower, but no less confused now that I know it’s a biscuit?

Oh I never knew what it was. I just thought it was some kind of dot?! 😀 My eye sight is not the best!

basically means, "here, have a biscuit"

HTH

But what does ‘here, have a biscuit’ mean?!

Which means

A passive aggressive "you are a troll"
Heard it all before love, didn't believe it the first time
Chinny reckon
Yesssss, like that really happened just as you said

Basically, you are talking bullocks and I'm not even going to dignity you with a sensible reason why because... you ain't wof it.

Think of it as a polite "oh do fuck of dear"

Or a sunflower
Or a nipple (s)

Bibidy, it's explained up thread why it means no comment. Because GB refused to comment.

4 = I don't care (welcome to MN, please state your opinion. Press 1 for yes, 2 for no, 3 if you are undecided and 4 if you don't give a monkey's left testicle)

Parp = harder to explain. It's the sound a car horn makes and could be used in various ways from agreement to derision.

Bollock and dignify.

I'll give myself a

"I've heard some peculiar comments in my time but that really takes the "

from a BBC "learning English" site:
"First you lost my keys, then you dropped my phone in the sink but this takes the biscuit. How did you manage to set fire to the television?"

Ahhhhhhhh, I see. Feel like I belong now

Further upthread , someone has explained that it was from when Gordon Brown was repeatedly asked what his favourite biscuit was and he did not reply or no comment.@Bibidy
