Hi,

Just as the title says...

COOKIES SHOULD NOT BE CALLED COOKIES!

Think about it! You don't cook a cookie you bake it! 😋

Therefore they should be called bakies!

Please post if you agree or disagree or have a comment to make. Please ping people.

DO YOU KNOW ANY OTHER THINGS THAT SHOULD NOT BE NAMED WHAT THEY ARE? (Hope it made sense)

@tikimaki I would never forget you. XD Right? If we started saying bakies all of a sudden, it would take time for it to sound tasty. xP

@tikimaki
XD I'm used to saying toilet and cookie though 😋
Flowers shouldn't be called flowers- they don't flow. They should be called bloomers, which is already another word. I think it's a kind of pants XD Whyyyy?

Fish don't breath water. Their gills extract the oxygen in the water. XD

You need to write a book about this. "Why Cookies Should Not Be Called Cookies". 😃 And yeah I've never thought about this... it's kinda funny though when you do think about it.

Well, that defeats the purpose of the name if they live on land and not in water, why would they be water breathers? xD

Flies shouldn't be called 'Fly' because it's so dumb, Yea, they fly, but it's just "FLY" i think they should be called 'Flying Eaters' since they eat human food. 😃 Anyone agree?

Ah the irony, but it's quite simple if you think about it. It makes perfect sense. Some might think it's a perplexing topic, but it's so simple, that it seems perplexing.

@tikimaki

The name has nothing to do with the cooking method.

Early English and Dutch immigrants first introduced the cookie to America in the 1600s. While the English primarily referred to cookies as bisquits, the Dutch called them koekjes. In our revolutionary tradition to seperate ourselves from all things British by the early 1700s, the word koekje became Anglicized into cookie or cookey and became part of the American vernacular. xD
