Now I have an political agenda. What is the agenda? Just say it as it is. Every time I post you try to attach politics to it. What's your agenda in doing this? Much like an induced censorship.
Accountability should work both ways imo.

Not true, they are "chips" of potato!
By the method they are made, I'd argue that they are closer to shavings of potato!
Of course, you still get people calling Wotsits and Quavers and stuff "crisps", due to the generic nature of the term, but I've not idea how the corn they are made of becomes the end product.
I dunno but "French Ticklers" were never known as "Freedom Ticklers" so I guess we're still good
LOL +1 too good.
But once they are fried they become "chips" of potato!By the method they are made, I'd argue that they are closer to shavings of potato!

I wonder why AUstralians / New Zealanders call them chips and brits call they "crisps".
I generally just say fries. But I have never and will never use the term "freedom" fries unless in jest; ESPECIALLY because it happened during the same time as the p.a.t.r.i.o.t act. It was like the government driving a knife through my favorite country in the world. Its healed and healing though, so I'm happy.

Ah, it's never ending argument. I just keep off them because they're not good for you. Same with fries, they're full of fat and attract trolls!

Because when you call crisps crisps that what they are.
Chips are chips - cooked and that's what they are
French fries well guess what? They're french fries!
Wedges are well wedges............
Mystery solved!
I don't think I have ever heard an Aussie call chips (ie Smiths) crisps before. And, for that matter, wasn't there an ad on TV in Australia about being "Australian" (or was it-un-Australian) that said calling "chips" "fries" was un-Australian?
Totally agree, my background is english so as a kid at home they were always called crisps but your right there chips here too.
Your an aussie, you know what they get called. I must admit I was curious as to the freedom thing sticking or not.
Of course it does, the french can't name things!

we're arguing about it now, aren't we?
Seriously, you guys need to kiss and make up. The agro is a downer and it's getting to the point were every post is attacked because of something taken the wrong way. I should get a t-shirt with a target on the middle.
Shhhhh......Morf might hear you.
Aw, did I hit a nerve? No ill intent behind my comments, you should know I dont take you that seriously
mlowe: Actually (in all seriousness) we're probably the country that names the most stuff which get reused by others.

Yep notice the fwenchy words in english all the time.
So which states / areas adopted this? It really does seem like at least a few places tried to implement the name change (ie the second poster's school). Was it a state based thing?
