"Had the biscuit"—the missuz seems to think that this is a Saskatchewan expression. Admittedly, to me it does seem like the kind of dorky quasi-folksy thing that muh people do say, but I don't know if it is, in fact, a regionalism. So, anyone else grow up with the expression?

Does it mean finger fucking in the high school sense?
If so, yes.

You mean, like if someone asks me "What did you have for breakfast?" and I respond "I had the biscuit?"

Nope, it means finished or fucked. E.g.,
"So, Harvey, how's your truck running?"
"The fucker's had the biscuit. No way I'll be able to go to the Chickenfoot show."
