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

      It’s dinner chips/snack chips for me.

        But when do you eat chips?

        Hot chips are definitely an anytime food.

          Cooked chips? Generally with my dinner, this is mainly for my shopping lists so my dumb ass doesn’t get confused.

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

    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.

    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.

      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

        Steak fries are not shown here. They’re bigger again.

        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
