YOU CALL COOKIES BISCUITS? Then what do you call a biscuit?

A biscuit is like a Jammie Dodger or Custard Cream. A cookie is like a chocolate chip cookie if you catch my drift?

I think I get it @ custard cream but that'd still be a cookie in the US.

Biscuits and cookies are different.
Custard creams or a Digestive is a biscuit whereas Maryland, Oreos or anything that's round with chocolate chips a cookie. We don't call everything a biscuit in the same way Americans do with cookie. Last edited by Jason.; 21-10-2017 at 10:15 PM. |

These (and similar variations) are cookies... anything else (including oreos! ) is a biscuit. |

Lorry (although when I think about it now I've heard it before), 'rubbish bin' - I didn't know rubbish was literally a substitute for trash/garbage in the UK lol, courgette & spanner I've literally never heard before, and gas = petrol you'd never really hear that in the US although it makes sense and a few gas stations do go by the name of "___ Petrol or Petroleum"
Also, you'd call this thing a torch?

They do in the UK but not Ireland. I would also say mom rather than mum like the US, mum sounds very English to me
