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...

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.
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.
Doughnuts are typically made from a straight piece of dough shaped into a circle, not a hole punched.
Doughnut holes are usually just bits of the dough, prior to forming into a circle, that's cut up and fried

But how do you differentiate between a doughnut ( o ) and a doughnut o. I'd be so pissed if I asked for a doughnut and someone handed me this tiny shit.
That there is a Timbit
a Tim Hortons™️ Timbit™️
To be honest, they should be called "Donut Plugs"
Mouth beads
Make sure yours are flared before you eat them or they could get stuck

The inclusion of a rape joke made this go from funny to unfunny so quickly.
Granted this was from 2010, and we were all making terrible jokes back then.
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.

Am I the only one that finds the whole "fake British words" genre of meme painfully unfunny?
Maybe if Brits would stop saying ridiculous things lol
You go enjoy your hushpuppies, elephant ears, bear claws, snickerdoodles and hootenannies.

*doughnut, not do nut.
Let him enjoy his pastries anyway he likes
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

Deez nut holes
those kinda look like greek loukmas/Turkish lokmas
If these were British, they’d be coated in granulated sugar and called doughnut… balls? Just tiny doughnuts? I can’t imagine someone wouldn’t want to put jam in the middle or dip them in chocolate.
Nah man, Brits would split them in half and spread a mixture of marmite and clotted cream on them.
Half of the population would call them "Yorkie balls" and the other would insist they're just scones.
In Japan they’re just doughnut balls. Mister Donut calls them “pops.”
