We call those cookies too, they're just a type of biscuit.

I caught a friend of mine saying "crisps" the other day. I know he talks to a lot of people on message boards and such. What freaked me out about it was that I almost didn't notice him doing it. It sounded normal until I got a little "ping" in the back of my head that something didn't fit into context. Then I thought about it. Then I looked at him and said, "Crisps? Really?" It's like American English is being subtly undermined by those sneaky Brits via the Interwebs...

Isn't that Cockney rhyming slang for "baby's cot"?

We were using the term biscuit before Columbus discover America. Learn to speak the English language.
