crux of the biscuit

I recognize it from a Frank Zappa song off of the album Apostrophe. IIRC, it's from the song "Stinkfoot." I suppose Frank could have lifted that from somewhere else, but I've always associated it with that song.

crux: A cross; a difficulty; a stumbling-block; a puzzle; e.g. crux criticorum, crux mathematicorum, crux medicorum, The puzzle of critics, mathematicians, physicians.
