Default Re: Gotta know.......

i assume it's symbolic, representing an ideal or utopian situation

the expression was used plenty by relatives when and where i grew up... 'take the biscuit' was another slang phrase that thrown around...same with 'put the biscuit in the basket' ...i love the word but always thought it should be spelled bisket ...yeah, it's a dumb language with many odd phrases... some standing the test of time
