In Papua New Guinea gayers are called Biscuit Men. Anyone know why? "Full O'Fruit," suggests me.
It's quite the pun-fest, is the biscuit world.

I wonder what this is all about? The site seems to be about "takin the piss" if my pidgin is up to scratch (which it isn't).
No idea why receivers of swollen goods are called bisket men though. I hope it has nothing to do with Anzac biscuits and PNGers summation of our men's character.

My pidgin runs to "whirly bird cum Jesus" and that's about it.
"receivers of swollen goods" extra choice work, Pat.

It's actually biskitman- you're clacker is referred to as biskit by those wacky head-hunters, cannibals and raskols. My personal favourite is impela pikanini bilong missus kwin, the pidgin for Prince Charles. I was going to dump on you for being slow off the mark, as I was sure I'd used the term- it may have been archived; certainly doesn't show up in a site search.
Another thing- Delta Creams- just think about it.

Biskit, hey. The guy telling me at work today didn't mention the spelling. He's just been up in PNG doing some work with the govt there.
Gao, anyone?

We used to call "spicy fruit roll" biscuits (full of fruit)- "pillow biscuits" - loved by pillow biters ?
Posted by: Simon | 05 August 2005 at 16:54
Loved by me, too.
Ooo. Err.
Not any more, though. Haven't had one in ages. I wonder if the Spicy Fruit Rolls contained dates. Then they'd be date rolls.

May I recommend Roger's Profanisaurus for future reference (if you don't already use it).
I note that "reading the paper" is a euphemism you could be using Tony, what with your recent complications of the winward passage. "v. To examine one's used toilet tissue to catch up on the latest news of your anal health."
Posted by: pat | 05 August 2005 at 17:31
No, I haven't seen the Profanisaurus, Pat, but now that I have, it will come in handy at formal occasions.
I reckon RTP could be a euphemism for just plain old "going to the torrlet".

What was that you were saying about "shit shots" Tony - F%^$&&^&king C^&ting Sh*&^t St#@!pid Shot Hayden &^%G&(*!!!!!
Posted by: pat | 05 August 2005 at 19:40
Agggggggggghhhhhhhhrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, Pat.
I just texted off exactly that message. What a bizarre shot! FIRST BLOODY BALL! IDIOT!
It's getting near time to drop Hayden, if you ask me.

I've just found that if you mute the commentary and play Pink Floyds Ummagumma Vaughan's facial expressions all makes sense.

I was just settling in to the game, thinking of odes to Oz cricket, songs that would be song in future ages around a tub of ice and cold cold stubbies of Australias finest Ales when Punter plays the most fucked up shot to the most useless bowler caught by the most fucked up wretched no hoping loser of a captain ever to be allowed to grace the arena with the mighty Oz. God F*&%^Kng damn screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeem.
Posted by: pat | 05 August 2005 at 21:07
Wicky texted me just before Ponting got out "Punter is great ... Jones is a hack" or something like that.
Awful bloody mozzing! And then bastard Martyn runs himself out when they didn't need to run. And the effing pitch is a doddle!
There's no doubt about it; Australia's worst enemy is Australia.

Well, they are playing at EDGEbaston. I've got the profanisaurus on my sidebar. If you'd like to drop the term into conversation and impress your dopey mates with what an erudite and well travelled chap you are, try "that Bob Brown-impella lukluk biskitman, numbawun."

Only if I don't use the talcum powder, you great Wally Jumblatt. 'Scuse me, must dash- got the turtle's head, I'm touching cloth; I feel a pace car coming on.

Wally Jumblatt? I'm not familiar with him. Doubtless a great Strayan.

You seem to have solved the biscuit riddle, but here's http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=soggy+biscuit target="_blank">my theory anyway.

Has anyone ever actually played SB, HB? Certainly no one I know has ever played it, and if someone suggested a quick ... err ... hand, I'd quickly tell them to piss off.

"Soggy Sao" is the local military/rugby version, sometimes just "Biscuit". There's many reports of it, mostly apochryphal- after all, who is going to admit later to being a participant (except perhaps for the above biskitmen)? Some doubt about the veracity of any incidents must be raised- after all, if one is bladdered enough to participate in such a pastime with such dubious benefits, could one actually manage the physical requirement of phallic engorgement?
Posted by: Habib | 06 August 2005 at 11:59
Not to mention you'd be too schickered to remember.
Phallic engorgement = Black pudding.
"Phallic engorgement is very black today, mother"

It's because the one playing daddy ends up with ginger nuts.

Excellent, Slatts. They just keep coming. And we're still only on Arnotts. What about the famous Peek Queens?

"Soggy Sao":
After grog flog?
Posted by: egg | 06 August 2005 at 19:48
No one I know has admitted to playing it, and - to show my credentials - I went to public school from the age of 8. Dunking biscuits in tea is almost as disgusting though, and I know lots of people who do that.
Posted by: hungbunny | 07 August 2005 at 02:20
Do Sao biscuits exist outside of Australia? If not, what biscuits do they use in the rest of the world? The Soggy Sao stories I heard invariably involved the Boy Scouts, so it's not exactly improbable. I suspect that someone somewhere probably has played it, if only because it's so easy for a closet case to suggest a game and then deliberately "lose" without arousing too much suspicion as to his proclivities.

Help! I've been humming Arnotts jingles since Friday. It's a disease.
