Lorries are trucks.
Jodhpurs are riding PANTS. LOL @ you Brits, Americans don't say "trousers"!
Nettles are a stinging kind of weed, not as bad as poison ivy.
Biscuits are cookies, maybe shortbread or like the digestive cookies babies eat. They don't have real cookies much, like chocolate chip.

In American, a lorry is a truck.
Jodhpurs are trousers designed for horseback riding.
Nettles are a weed that, if touched against the skin, may cause an itchy rash.
What the English refer to as "biscuits", Americans would call "cookies".

Lorries is another word for Trousers.
Jodhpurs are small Indian snacks (a bit like samosas)
Nettles are Stingers
Biscuits are cookies, apart from Jaffa Cakes which are both cake and biscuits (cookies)

A lorry is a truck. Biscuits are what we think of as cookies, but they can also be crackers. Not too sure about the other two.

lorries are waggons or heavy goods vehicles.
Jodhpurs are a form of riding trousers named after a place in India.
Nettles (I wasn't aware of that being particularly British) are green stinging plants found in bushes and foilage
Biscuits are like cookies!!!

I like the Brits term for rubber, witch means an eraser but not a condom.

I believe those "cookies" are called crumpets, but you have to love the Brits!
