I like it! I am going to adopt the phrase.
This seems way more like Aussie slang than anything else.
I am insulted!
Australian? Ugh.
Respect the Aussie slang, you drongo.
The idea of respecting anything Australian goes against the ideals of the Enlightenment.
You telling me you don't think a kangaroo is cool as shit?

Flora and fauna, along with the indigenous people, predate the idea of Australia. Those are all cool. It's the twisted, diseased quasi-culture that was excreted by those who called and call themselves Australian.

Takes the biscuit is Aussie / Kiwi slang.
It means takes the piss as in being unreasonable, being selfish.

I think it is just for politeness, 'that takes the biscuit' goes down better in public than 'he is taking the fucking piss'.
