"It's had the biscuit" - regionalism?

Brynda said it. Four years ago. But since we’re here in April/almost-May 2016, I’ll contribute that I’ve never ever heard this phrase, but if I’d heard it in the OP’s context I’d figger it out.

54, lived in Upstate NY, CT and CA. And spent 14 years in the military where you’re thrown together with folks from all over the US.

Interesting. I had no idea “figger” was a thing in those places. I thought it was a hillbilly/Southern thing.

And, yeah, I’d never heard the OP’s thing. And I’m born and raised in northwest Arkansas–in the Ozarks, that other hillbilly place.

The nearest British equivalent I can think of to the OP’s phrase “It’s had its chips”.

Nine years later…this is the first I’ve heard this phrase (guess I missed the post first time around).

My expanded vocabulary from my military service. I was once attached to a unit from Jackson MS.

Grew up in Alberta and now live in BC. I’ve heard it all my life, and always assumed it refers to a communion wafer. From previous responses, it really appears to be a Canadianism.
