I agree, they don't have biscuits they have cookies.
The English word "Sherbert" and the bangla word "Sharbat" derive from a common linguistic ancestor from before the indo-european split. One word refers to flavored ice, and another refers to a cold, sweet drink.
Odds are, neither one is the same as the original proto-indo-european refreshment that they derived from. When a people goes to a new place, they take their tastes with them and apply them to what's available to them there.
Words, too, change meaning over time. It's just the way things go. Nothing stays the same. Cultures drift, and people evolve.
What I call a biscuit may be closer to what you call a scone, and white gravy may be an abomination to your eyes, but it is just as cherished to me as Yorkshire pudding and brown gravy likely is to you.
And hell, y'all's empire fell to pieces long ago. The time is coming where y'all're gonna have to start engaging with cultures other than y'all's own as equals instead of with that insufferable smug sense of superiority for once. Best start practicing now
Once again absolutely nothing intelligent was uttered by a person who says "y'all"
Let me be absolutely clear.
Y'ALL classist assholes can go fuck y'all's selves. Ain't nobody has no right to decide what words mean what, no matter how many dictionary companies y'all buy out. Language has no fecking rules. None. It's completely artificial and it evolves over time, but y'all motherfuckers can't be fecked to learn an ounce of linguistics.
Go right to hell, dipshit.
I’m having a laugh mate. Why do so many of you take so much so seriously?
They love engaging with the French and copying their food and language to seem sophisticated.
We aren’t a hive mind mate.
Yeah but you are in here "having a laugh" by invalidating another culture's experience. Turnabout is fair play.
I’m sorry if it came across that way, I should have put an “/s”, but let’s not forget you put a blatant lie about my country.

Is it "pudding" in the American sense or the British?
