Biscuits aren't scones though XD

I will never forget hearing about a British person who didn't know that Americans say "cookies" instead of "biscuits" and call something else entirely a biscuit and was introduced to this concept by "chicken biscuits" - They were thinking "chicken cookie" and were properly horrified.

Biscuit/cookie is one of the most well known American English/British English differences, though.
Error. Error. Cannot compute.

Welll, you could make a biscuit in the shape of a chicken, and call it a chicken cookie, I suppose...

Besides chips and fries, also there's the whole British accent thing.
Life is often like pushing a luggage cart through the airport. Sometimes I feel ridiculous, sometimes I look ridiculous, but I just keep pushing that luggage cart, and hoping I'm generally heading in the right direction.
Always keep your word, always finish what you started, and never go unprepared.

Using the meaning I tend to associate with ally, and a running joke about Kade, then yes.
