What's a chicken biscuit though?
A chicken sandwich with a biscuit for bread
What type of biscuit though? Hobnobs? Custard Creams? Honestly I'm struggling to think of a biscuit that would go well with chicken.
I’m guessing they are asking because in British English biscuits are cookies?
In case you aren’t being an intentional dumbass; in American ‘biscuit’ means savory buttery pastry roll. Each of the items you listed would be referred to here as ‘cookies’.
I know what they are. It was a bit of a deliberate play on words, swapping the American and English definitions of biscuit. A joke that was perhaps a bit too subtle or too British for Americans to comprehend.
I got it but, to me at least, the delivery/wording made it unfunny for me. I took it as being intentionally thick and condescending, which is also how I read this response.
An answer to make most people mad:
Bless your heart
Fluffy or flaky biscuit (american, savory buttery pastry dough) sandwich with a bit of breaded fried chicken. Frequently with some honey on it.
Chicken flavoured dry cat food biscuits, I guess? :)
Biscuit cut in half with (usually) a fried chicken patty or fried breast meat in the middle.
My ex learned English as a second language and was fluent but she had a very hard time with any heavy accent.
My wife too. She grew up in Taiwan and moved to America in middle school.
She can't understand understand British or Australian accents, where I can hear the differences between the two.
She literally can't understand Indian accents. It's like they are not speaking English at all.
I'm a native speaker and have absolutely no issue whatsoever with Australian and British accents, but people with a heavy Indian accent still sound like they're not speaking English to me.
I think we were exposed to more Brit and Aus influences. Thinking Steve Erwin, Crocodile Dundee, and a bunch of British actors.
For Indian speaking influence, nope. Even today, the only exposure to Indian accents is at work and even then, its limited.
You can get better at understanding accents by listening to them more, so yeah, that's probably why.
It doesn't help that Indian English often still uses a lot of colonial terms, like Capsicum instead of bell pepper. That being said most Indians in the US will adjust to the local vocabulary pretty quickly.
Please do the needful
I absolutely LOVE Indian accents, especially with a very sing-song speech pattern.
My first language is English and some accents/dialects are very difficult. Certain Indian speakers, Scottish speakers, Newfies, and West Virginians (which has a lot of Scots and Irish roots) can take me some time to acclimate to.
Anything else y'all?
don't forget the
A southern accent? That doesn't sound like a Kent accent to me?
Maybe he means southern Canada??
Many planets have a south pole
I went to Greenville, South Carolina to view the eclipse in 2017.
Watched it from the Greenville zoo.
There was a guy there, standing in line at the concession stand, talking on the phone to another person.
He kept telling the other person, in his native tongue, that he was in the "Food Line". After like 10 times repeating himself he burst out laughing "nah! Not the food Li-unn, the food LINE!"
Food Lion, for those readers who are unaware, is a regional grocery chain.
The zoo was an awesome place to view an eclipse, btw. Animals were going nuts. There were students there documenting their reaction with go-pros on many exhibits. But I'll never forget that guy.
2024 Eclipse we saw from the Perot Museum in Dallas. Also an awesome experience. They had live music and scientist commentary, and after the eclipse they played "Here comes the sun" and it was just perfect.
Had a very puzzling conversation about wells with a guy I worked with, finally figured out he meant whales.
Some years ago when We were visiting my dad in Mississippi, my husband (Canadian) and I ,(American who moved to Canada) went to dinner and I had make the order because he just couldn't get a handle on the deep southern accent hahaha
They got all those computers down south, doncha know?
Reminds me of a time that I told my boss the "text dick taking" was not working so well. We had a good laugh about that one later.
I don't even have a broad British accent, generic middle class southern, but most speech to text can't follow me well since I don't speak Yank.
The (certain, wealthy parts of the) US centrism is mucho annoying.
