Fries are fries, chips are chips, crisps are crisps

In America, fries are fries, chips are fries, crisps are chips and crisps don't exist

And you think we're the difficult ones

What do you even call actual biscuits, what would you call these:

idk that looks like a scone or something to me

I would never say tortilla crisps.

I could tell you if I ate one, which means you have to send me one right now

explain cloudy and clear lemonade

I ate way too much, I feel like Frank after he eats that crow

We call them buttermilk biscuits

one kind is cloudy and the other is clear

Yeah idk man I don't eat that kind of thing that much so I'm not an expert

I've had scones they taste different.

I played a lot of Bloodborne today, surprised I'm not bored of it yet

Been playing Clive Barkers Undying lately.

Yeah they don't look identical, I guess we'd call them some kind of cake, a small cake. According to Webster's, "cookie" is meant to mean a type of cake, and biscuits are meant to be what most of you people call "cookies", so even your own Dictionary is confused about your mangling of my beautiful language

*freedom fries

I'm joking obviously, the English language is all manner of ****ed, especially in England. I was once witness to a heated argument about what to call a bread roll, whether it was "bairn", "bun", "breadcake", "soft roll", "cob", "bap", "bun", I was like guys chill the **** out it's literally just bread, I don't care what bum****-nowhere county of England you're from

If you think American/English differences are weird, it's much worse in England with the North/South divide

Nah I've seen bags of "churro crisps" in the stores.

"chips" should look like chips, imho

That just makes it more confusing
