Are any of these inaccurate?

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

[Morgan.]

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

[RileyH]

also chips are the big fat ones and fries are the skinny ones that you get from maccies

[Niamh.]

In Ireland we call trousers pants as well but all the others are the same as the UK

I say literally everything on the right side. A few on the UK side I've never even heard of before / are shocking to me lol.

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.

Oreos are quite blatantly not cookies... they are biscuits...

Oh, so you're Mrs. Right are you?

[user104658]

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

I agree, I'd only call a chocolate chip cookie a cookie

I had American biscuits with gravy in the states, they're delicious

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
