Reply to comment by MeLaughFromYou in Woman accused of running over her partner with a car because he ate one of her chips by Spratty75849

This is from Australia. I believe the term 'chips' translates to 'french fries' in American

Hot chips and chips are different. Chips would be for products like doritos.

Hot chips is only used when required to differentiate between chips and hot chips. Otherwise they're just referred to as chips.

No, it fucking doesn't and hear me out, please...

Chips are referenced as flakes that fall off of something and infuriates everyone involved.

Fries are potatoes that are cut the fuck up in long, finger sized pieces, hopefully blanched and patted dry, before being fried to a deliciously awesome golden brown then salted until the doctors regret longing a less robust patient portfolio.

Chips are cut tf up in whatever way an unsettled person would chop a potato up with no supervision and recklessly dropped into lava oil with zero capacity to care, or want, that everyone around them survives.

My favorite recipes revolve around whatever the fuck I want to do with a potato before I get nice, then pepper, salt, olive oil and herb TF outta them before they're tossed into the oven, turned and made sure all sides are facefucktastic before letting them rest long enough to vaguely forget the previous torture they've been through, but subtly never let the horrors vanish from their souls.

Then, Bon Appétit.

My local chippy (for hot chips) makes their own from hand cut potatoes. So that's chipped hot chips. :) 😀

No need to convince me, good sir. I'm American. Take it up with the Commonwealth countries :-)
