Well include Canada as well if you don't mind...

Here's the rule. Take the US or British word that is last in the previous post and reveal the word which is the equivalent.

ie.-

Say the last word was *nappy* (Brit) so your first word would be *diaper*, then add another British word to be translated into US or vice versa. If you can't think of one the next post will pick it up.

Since we can't start with a word I'll end with a North American word:

*sofa* <?>

Umm... sofa

Let me start again-

scone

biscuit

OK, maybe we should start with basics here. A *scone* is a wheat based product which is best served with Devonshire cream and/or jam. In the US I think it may be refered to as a biscuit. Am I working alone here or what?

Did this go through? Bisquit

Personnaly I prefer my cheese bisquits with unsalted butter

Scone's aren't biscuits in the US...

This should be a word association thread...

They are in the south.


Leet's start fresh here....

*Rawlplug*

(And biscuits in the south aren't exactly like scones - scones are usually sweet, whereas southern biscuits are... well, they're not exactly sweet or savoury. Imagine making a scone without the sugar or dried fruit, and that's a biscuit. You have them with your main meal as an accompaniment, rather like dinner rolls. You can have biscuits and gravy - which is nothing like meat gravy, it's more like a sauce - for brekkers too).
