HelpRe: Ngaire, Nyree
in reply to a message by guasguendi
As an American I just had to look up "takes the biscuit". I was surprised that that idiom means "to be the most remarkable or foolish of its kind."
That definition does make it sort of ambiguous -- to me being "remarkable" would be positive, while being "foolish" of course would not be positive. Which of those meanings were you trying to convey? :)
