The players stand around in a circle tossing off onto a Wholemeal Digestive. The somewhat more respectable writer, actor and broadcaster Stephen Fry, the U.K.’s official posh, know-it-all uncle, did reference the game in his 1995 boarding-school-based novel The Liar, and describes the rules thus:Ī Wykhamist friend told me of a pursuit at Winchester called the Biscuit Game. (He also reportedly considered Gimp Disco, Split Dickslit, Bitch Piglet and Blood Fart, which, wow, okay.) Even Fred Durst, who founded and named goonish nü-metal band Limp Bizkit, claims the name was chosen simply to roll off the tongue (like Led Zeppelin) but be memorably odd it didn’t actually have anything to do with the game. It’s not a game that’s been enormously well documented, despite its relative cultural ubiquity. But despite the differences in title, the core components remain the same: a bunch of dudes standing around a biscuit (or cookie, as you would say), jerking off, with the last guy to finish having to eat the newly frosted comestible. Soggy Biscuit is the best-known version in my native Britain, but it’s referred to by various names around the world: Jizzy Jiscuit, Wet Biscuit, Limp Biscuit, Milky Biscuit Ookie Cookie, Kekswichsen in Germany, Soggy Sao in Australia. It’s an enigma, Soggy Biscuit: a decades-old social meme a word-of-mouth cultural phenomena like the pencils-up-the-nose finals suicide that gets everyone in the exam hall an A a game nobody claims to have played, but plenty are adamant that their friend’s cousin’s friend’s cousin sure did.
