It appears that "thetrudz" has never actually held a job,because that answer (1) shows a complete lack of understanding how businesses get put under pressure by their clients or patrons, and (2) makes the asker sound like a smartass.

All jobs have pressure. Even freelance jobs; they have deadlines.

there's normal job pressure, and there's "Management F'ed up (again) but we're gonna make our employees work super-long hours and demand 150% efficiency rather than admit it."

'Biscuit' descends from Latin, and comes from 'biscoctus', which means 'twice cooked'. This is because the biscuit originally was cooked/baked at a relatively high temperature, and then later baked again at a low temperature for a longer period of time to drive out all the moisture. This made for a hard, durable product.

The triscuit's naming origin is uncertain, but it's either from 'electricity' and 'biscuit' (because the original developer of the company used electrical ovens to bake the things), or because of the three ingredients (wheat, oil, and salt).

The monscuit already exists, it's any cookie that is baked once.

The quadriscuit, if it was indeed meant to be baked four times, can probably be ground into a weapon. Or is a pile of charcoal after spending too much time in too hot an oven.

When they were first sold back in the '70s, they were advertised as being made with triticale. It's a portmanteau name. It's also a legacy name, since they aren't made with triticale any more.

Actually, hardtack meant for very long sea voyages WAS baked four times to make sure it lasted.

They're still made with triticum, Latin for wheat.

And last it did.  The U.S. Army was still using surplus hardtack from the Civil War in the Modoc War, eight years later.  Plus by then, the insects gave it extra protein.

'Could be ground into a weapon', check.
