Biscuits are *entirely* different things in the US and UK.

In the US, a biscuit is a specific type of baked good, close to what a person from the UK would call a "scone" but not quite.

In the UK a Biscuit is what we in the US would call a cookie.

If you ordered Biscuits and gravy in the US and UK you'd get *wildly* different things.

So... they are NOT the same thing.

Right. My point is that calling a cookie a biscuit doesn’t make it a different thing, it’s the same thing with a different name. Calling a car trunk a boot doesn’t make it a different thing, it’s an opening in the back of the car to put your stuff. The essence of things isn’t attached to the combination of letters and sounds we use to name the thing. 

“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet.”
