Christmas Rum Balls

The standard is supposed to be whether two dialects are "mutually intelligible", but I've heard a number of immigrant "Englishes" that I can't make heads or tails of.

For fun, take a look at this list:

I don't like to make advance plans.  It causes the word PREMEDITATED get thrown around in the courtroom!
I'm NOT crazy!  My mother had me tested! Cool

It's the American cookie, that is used in the rum ball recipe preparation.

Also in OZ we call the American Biscuits "Scones" and they come in both savory and or sweet. The English wordings never cease to amaze me, We all speak it, yet it means something different depending on where you come from.

If I was a bettin' gal.. and I am....  I'd say a short bread type cookie would work swell!
