Background: We we’re trying to track a murderer on a train and our wizard bound up all of the passengers that the party suspected. (She also bound up a few party members just to annoy them). One of the people not bound is a worker named Arthur.
Arthur: Why didn’t you bind me?
Wizard: I don’t think you could have done it. Would you like to be bound?
Arthur(in a cheery exploratory voice): Oh no, I’m no into that

‘scuit’ comes from the french word for ‘bake’, ‘cuire’ as bastardized by adoption by the brittish and a few hundred years
‘biscuit’ meant ‘twice-baked’, originally meaning items like hardtack which were double baked to dry them as a preservative measure long before things like sugar and butter were introduced. if you see a historical doccument use the word ‘biscuit’ do not be fooled to think ‘being a pirate mustve been pretty cool, they ate nothing but cookies’ - they were made of misery to last long enough to be used in museum displays or as paving stones
‘triscuit’ is toasted after the normal biscuit process, thrice baked
thus the monoscuit is a cookie thats soft and chewy because it was only baked once, not twice
behold the monoscuit/scuit
Why is this called a biscuit:
when brittish colonists settled in the americas they no longer had to preserve biscuits for storage or sea voyages so instead baked them once and left them soft, often with buttermilk or whey to convert cheap staples/byproducts into filling items to bulk out the meal to make a small amount of greasy meat feed a whole family. considering hardtack biscuits were typically eaten by dipping them in grease or gravy untill they became soft enough to eat without breaking a tooth this was a pretty short leap of ‘just dont make them rock hard if im not baking for the army’ but didnt drop the name because its been used for centuries and people forgot its french for ‘twice baked’ back in the tudor era, biscuit was just a lump of cooked dough that wasnt leavened bread as far as they cared
thus the buttermilk biscuit and the hardtack biscuit existed at the same time. ‘cookies’ then came to america via german and dutch immigrants as tiny cakes made with butter, sugar/molasses, and eggs before ‘tea biscuits’ as england knew them due to the new availability of cheap sugar- which is why ‘biscuit’ and ‘cookie’ are separate items in america but the same item in the UK
the evolution of the biscuit has forks on its family tree
I love it when a shitpost turns into an actually interesting post.
If you are ever in doubt about how to send the Nazis back underground, ask an older punk. They’ll tell you it starts with a “Nazis fuck off” and ends with a big stompy boot to the face.
I love this and I think it’s especially great when you know that on the show kitchen nightmares, where this is from, Gordon goes out of his way to establish a rapport with servers because they are the ones who have to deal with angry and upset customers when the food sucks. This server has been serving shit food to people who give her shit for it, probably for sub minimum wage, possibly for years, and now she has the chance to expose the people who put her in that position in front of a celebrity chef on national television and I think we can all share in her glee. She’s not just chaotic evil, she’s a working class hero.
Idk i always read this as an example of chaotic good, not chaotic evil. She’s doing the right thing for the right reasons while breaking established “rules” by her bosses.
