When I worked in southern England some friends were discussing the upcoming Christmas party . They were planning for something better than just bicies and sannies (biscuits and sandwiches) to eat and what presies to get for Chrissy.(presents for Christmas) When I started to tease them about their "baby talk" one asked what Canadians called biscuits. "Er, um, well. . . cookies. But that's their real name!" Bad example but I lost the right to mock.
