For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

TIL: "The Old French word bescuit is derived from the Latin words bis (twice) and coquere, coctus (to cook, cooked), and, hence, means "twice-cooked". This is because biscuits were originally cooked in a twofold process: first baked, and then dried out in a slow oven."

Exactly. So, many cookies are in fact biscuits, as they're dried out to give them a longer shelf life.
