2. Why use "Urban Dictionary" which is not a standard, recognised dictionary (Collins, Cambridge, etc. etc.) as is mostly slang terms (US mostly)?
What is the Urban Dictionary? Urban Dictionary is a crowdsourced online dictionary for slang words and phrases, operating under the motto "Define Your World."[2] The website was founded in 1999 by xxx. Originally, Urban Dictionary was intended as a dictionary of slang, or cultural words or phrases, not typically found in standard dictionaries, but it is now used to define any word, event or phrase. Words or phrases on Urban Dictionary may have multiple definitions, usage examples, and tags. As of 2014, the dictionary had over seven million definitions, while about 2,000 new entries were being added daily. Many definitions, though, are merely jokes or offensive statements.

1. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=take the bis...
***I looked, and there is only one meaning:**** "Chiefly a British idiom. When something "takes the biscuit" then it has become really bad, annoying or objectionable. Often used when something has worsened", and it is not a case of Urban dictionary have a 1st meaning or 2nd meaning, as there is only ONE.

2. However, I believe I know where you may have perhaps mixed up phrases, as another entry, quote:
"take the cake - Dictionary Definition : Vocabulary.com www.vocabulary.com › dictionary › take the cake
take the cake. ... ****Originally, to take the cake meant to win a prize or a competition**** — people as far back as the ancient Greeks used the word cake to mean "a symbolic prize." Over time, it grew to have a more negative, sarcastic meaning in English: "I can't believe this mess" unquote. Yes, the original meaning was a prize (many, many moons ago), but in today's world, that is not the case.

According to the dictionary take the biscuit 2nd meaning as follows;
To be the epitome of something, typically something unpleasant. To stand as the best (or more likely worst) example of a series of things.

@ Philgoddard According to Urban dictionary , take the biscuit has more than one meaning

15:57 May 22, 2020 

You are wrong. They both mean the same thing. And why can't you use a dictionary?

@ laura I don't agree that take the cake is the same as take the biscuit. Take the cake is used when some one wins a competion etc
