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.
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?
Nah brah
That checks out
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.
Steak fries, shoestring fries, chips
Fried golden brown foodstuff, fried golden brown fiodstuff, fried golden brown foodstuff
Steak fries are not shown here. They’re bigger again.
Does the name “french fries” get used?
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
As an Australian, I refuse to order ‘fries’ when I go to McDonalds. They’re fucking chips, cunt.
austrailian
calls it mcdonalds instead of maccas
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.
Somehow there’s never been any confusion.
If someone asks me if I want some chips my answer will be Yes either way…
Turns out, anywhere that sells chips never sells chips
Are you sure?
100%, saying fish and chips is easy mode for chip context.
Also, if somebody told me they were getting chips and came back with some pringles, I’d be throwing hands
Pommes and Chips! 🇩🇪
The super thick pommes variant might get called Fritjes in the Northwest thanks to our favourite neighbors (Netherlands)
“Pommes” like the French, “pomme de terre”?
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.
Ja frietjesss
They’re all chippies
I’d like to add the age old war between the north and south of the Netherlands of calling fries/chips friet or patat.

Bullshit. In the UK those crisps are walkers not lays
