American versus British "biscuits" (the British ones are "cookies" in American English). Many British words spelled with an "ou" combination like labour and colour are spelled with only an "o" in American English (i.e. labor and color). American English does not include rhyming slang like the Cockney dialect "dicky bird" which means "word."
