I have to go along with Sunshine. I'm 59 years old and don't remember ever hearing or using the word unless it was associated with England. The term "tea and crumpets" is all I am familiar with. I assumed it to be a cookie, cracker, biscuit sort of food. I have also assumed it is sweet. Both assumptions could be completely incorrect as I have never had a reason to pursue the actual item or research it in any way.

A crumpet means that the person saying it is from the UK.We do not use that word at all here in the US.

Crumpet is a donut-type of snack, but it can also mean a young, attractive, home-wrecking type of woman. I agree that it's mostly associated with Britain.

Well, I don't really know, but I know that my friend and I call each other crumpet. But only because we were making fun of people calling each other things like "sweetie-pie," "honey-muffin", "honey-bun" and other such pastries and treats.

Where are you? In the US crumpet is not a staple...we equate it with England and to us it means a bisquit of sorts.

I was actually going to tell you, but since you only want a reply from the US, I won't.

I've only read the word in literature, I've never heard it used in conversation in the US.
