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.

    I was watching some Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives type show on Finnish tv recently, and in an episode about restaurants in some Southern state the word "biscuit" was translated as "sämpylä" in the subtitles

    sämpylä

    • roll, bun (type of bread)
    • sub, submarine sandwich; often with a modifier that specifies the main fillings (type of sandwich made on this type of bread) juustosämpylä ― cheese sub

    To me (and most other Europeans, I imagine) the word biscuit is broadly synonymous with "cookie" though (in Finnish both are typically translated to "keksi" ie cookie) and brings to mind things like Digestive Biscuits rather than these American gravy sponge things
