It means “no comment, or at least no comment that I can make without being deleted”.

It dates from Gordon Brown’s infamous webchat.

It’s a jammy dodger and it is basically for when someone is so wrong/twatty/GF you can’t even be arsed to type out a reply/the reply would be deleted.

TBH, when a thread has too many Biscuit. I just go and get a Gin

paxillin · 19/05/2018 12:08

And the banhammer, @JenMumsnet.

JenMumsnet · 19/05/2018 16:09

I think we need an emoji for the banhammer.

Or send them off to the dark, blue yonder in this Tardis

JenMumsnet · 19/05/2018 17:59

Great suggestions. I can think of a few people I would like to send off in a Tardis, While I am wearing my moderating Crown

Quick question in follow up to this.....

Is it typically when the OP is taking the biscuit/wrong/OTT or the person they're posting about?

YetAnotherBeckyMumsnet · 19/11/2022 13:08

Hello @Robyn847 it's generally used, off label, to denote 'no comment'.
