Hey, Epona, this one's for you. When I was in training, one of my fellow internes was British, and one day she came into the break room and looked into the refrigerator, and asked, "Where are the chocolate biscuits?" We all went, "Oh, yuck, chocolate biscuits, why would you want something like that?" For, to us, a "biscuit" is an unsweet scone-like bread, normally served with butter and either white gravy (if you are hardcore) or with honey or jam, (if you are wishy-washy). She turned bright red, and said, in her lovely Oxbridge accent, "No, no, I mean like Oreos." We all fell about. She was really a sweetie.
