  Can be disambiguated with ‘hot chips’ if you ever need to - no worries!

    Been enjoying saying"French chips" when needing to clarify

  If you have to clarify, it’s hot chips or packet chips.

  As someone from the UK I’d like to clarify that I’d call those Maccies fries, they’re too thinly cut to be chips.

    Does the name “french fries” get used?

    source

    • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      I don’t think I’ve ever used that other than at macca’s.Shoe string I have.

      Sometimes, mainly just fries I think. I’d certainly know what you meant if you said mcdonalds chips but I’d personally call them fries

    bloke is claiming to be right about English language, so he’s automatically wrong, not least because English is totally undeserving of any respect in the first place

  My kid has no actual memories of America, but speaks in an American accent and uses British and American English interchangeably. Almost at random.

  I don’t even mind anymore either way. I just wish he’d stop calling me bruh. Do they have that in Australia?

  As an Australian, I refuse to order ‘fries’ when I go to McDonalds. They’re fucking chips, cunt.

      I’m trying to accommodate for our mates overseas.

      But yeah, you’re right, now, I’ll be off, I need to go buy a pack of Winnie Blues from the Servo, then head down to the bottle-o to grab a carton of Coopers.

    If someone asks me if I want some chips my answer will be Yes either way…

      100%, saying fish and chips is easy mode for chip context.

  Pommes and Chips! 🇩🇪

  source

  • Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    “Pommes” like French “pomme de terre”?

    source

    • wieson@feddit.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Yes, but we pronounce the “es”.

      A word more true to the french pronunciation of “pommes frites” is “Pommfritz”, but that’s used by older people.

  I’d like to add the age old war between the north and south of the Netherlands of calling fries/chips friet or patat.
