Wow, I'm so used to talking about a "short" or an "electrical short" that I couldn't remember what the correct term really was.

I'm pretty sure that "boy shorts" are only called that when girls wear them.

Is there a difference between shortbread and shortcake?

Yes. Shortcake is an actual cake: it's sorta like angel food cake, but denser. Shortbread on the other hand is not bread or bread-like at all, but it is rather a cookie (or, if you're British, a "biscuit", but not the American kind of biscuit, because it's not leavened/puffy). The example given is a good but not the best example, because Girl Scout Cookies are no longer of the quality they once were, but there are some really good shortbread cookies you can buy at the grocery store. They are very rich and buttery, with a soft crunch. Recommended :-)

I looked it up and apparently in British English shortbread and shortcake mean the same thing.

I agree, never heard of "short sheet", only apple pie bed. And what about shorties for boxer shorts.

The word short feels really weird to me know. Like it's not a legit English word. @_@
