I’m sorry but biscuit is clearly a far better sounding word for a savory baked good you dip in gravy and have with bacon and eggs. Not for a sweet delectable baked good, for that a more cutesy sounding word like “cookie” is far fucking better.
English perverts should stop calling fucking cookies biscuits, I don’t dip Oreos in gravy you cretins.
Biscuit is the French word as well so probably that's why. Also, outside the US "biscuits" is a wide category that also includes what you guys call "cookies".
