Never heard before..

the "crux of the biscuit"

Is this a "southern" expression? šŸ¤”
 

While it might sound like a secret recipe for the perfect cookie, it’s actually an expression popularized by the legendary musician Frank Zappa.

When someone talks about the ā€œcrux of the biscuit,ā€ they’re getting to the heart of the matter, the core idea, or the most important aspect of something. It’s like finding the sweet spot in a conversation or unraveling the layers of meaning in a song.
 

I learned something today! High time that I did, too! 😸

Food expression phrases can be really arcane or localized. I heard a reference years ago that someone had ā€œtasted the strawberries,ā€ meaning that they had experienced a revelation, often a bad or eye-opening one.

Anyways, I’m starting to get hungry now with all this food talk… 🤤
