four biscuits back

When you're "four biscuits back", you're losing or behind at something.

You find out a friend was passed over for a promotion, you look at them in the eye and fondly say, "man it really sounds like you're four buisquits back!, but it will work out". Or at a kids' soccer game; if you're the coach and your losing, "alright team, I know right now you all feel like we're four biscuits back, but I believe we can still pull this off!"
