To be honest, they should be called "Donut Plugs"

But then 5 of them would need to be connected in a line, right?

And oral beads would be more accurate

Make sure yours are flared before you eat them or they could get stuck

In the UK these are called doughnuts.

The presence of a hole isnt a pre-requisite to being deemed a doughnut here.

Calling something that has zero holes a 'donut hole', will absolutely have a local refer to you as a doughnut tho...

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 25 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

It's called a doughnut hole because it's implied to be the piece of dough that was punched out to make a regular circular doughnut that has a hole in it.

[–] javiwhite@feddit.uk 29 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Oh I understand that. I was just being facetious; my point was more to do with the definition of a hole, and how it's used here to describe something that definitely is not a hole.

If we're pedantic, then the doughnut hole is the middle bit of the original doughnut, now that this part has been punched out.

I think you could even convince English people that "merry fizzlebombs" and "upsy stairsies" are some kind of regional slang. Might even get away with "breaddystack" or "rickedy-pop" if you play your cards right.

Donut is just an American variation of the spelling, and considering they're talking about what Americans call this, donut is perfectly acceptable, and maybe even a more correct usage than the doughnut spelling

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Damn i have always had it in my head as dough knot. And it never looks right when i write it out.

Am I the only one that finds the whole "fake British words" genre of meme painfully unfunny?

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe if Brits would stop saying ridiculous things lol

[–] phlegmy@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You go enjoy your hushpuppies, elephant ears, bear claws, snickerdoodles and hootenannies.

[–] ouRKaoS 3 points 1 day ago

All those fixins at a hootenanny sounds like my kind of shindig!

In Japan they’re just doughnut balls. Mister Donut calls them “pops.”
