Another question: Why DoughNUT? There are no nuts in a Doughnut.

lol wikipedia is evil:

The earliest known recorded usage of the term dates an 1808 short story[3] describing a spread of "fire-cakes and dough-nuts." Washington Irving's reference to "doughnuts" in 1809 in his History of New York is more commonly cited as the first written recording of the term. Irving described "balls of sweetened dough, fried in hog's fat, and called doughnuts, or olykoeks."[4] These "nuts" of fried dough might now be called doughnut holes. Doughnut is the more traditional spelling, and still dominates outside the US. At present, doughnut and the shortened form donut are both pervasive in American English. The first known printed use of donut was in a Los Angeles Times article dated August 10, 1929. There, Bailey Millard jokingly complains about the decline of spelling, and that he "can't swallow the 'wel-dun donut' nor the ever so 'gud bred'." The interchangeability of the two spellings can be found in a series of "National Donut Week" articles in The New York Times that covered the 1939 World's Fair. In four articles beginning October 9, two mention the donut spelling. Dunkin' Donuts, which was founded in 1948 under the name Open Kettle (Quincy, Massachusetts), is the oldest surviving company to use the donut variation, but the now defunct Mayflower Donut Corporation appears to be the first company to use that spelling, having done so prior to World War II.

Maple Dip doughnuts from Tim Hortons.

The real, traditional, spelling is doughnut.  The term donut got started by a newspaper article where the writer was making fun of declining spelling.  The spelling outside of the US is doughnut, while both are used in the US, but most commonly spelled donut.  Like I said before, and basterized version of the proper spelling.

wow so donut is leet

Like a nut and bolt. The nut is circular(ish) with a whole in the middle. Like a donut, a traditional one that is.

Doughnuts shall from here on be referred to as olykoeks

Here we call them "krof" and the best doughnuts here are known as Trojanski krof or Trojan doughnut. hehe

Honey glazed, maple glazed, french cruellers... those are my favorites. Give me a nice, cold glass of milk or some good coffee. Yumm... that said I don't get them that often. Partly because they're not too healthy, partly because I just forget when I go to the supermarket

I have yet to eat a fresh, hot off the presses donut from Krispy Kreme though. That's one of my goals.

BS. That donut looks like it's made of chocolate cake and has some plastic wrap over part of it. Nothing can beat the delicious, smooth, glazed glory that is a Krispy Kreme donut.
