WTF???

We call the type you get at McDonald's "fries" and the ones that taste nice "chips".
In the US they call crisps "chips", how mad is that?

Dude that's crazy!
What other weird names do you have for bar snacks? What about cashew nuts?

They call dried, trimmed and marinated beef in packets, the same as I call right-handed loving.

What? Like eggs in vinegar? Is this a slang thing that I don't get?

We dont have the wierd names, you do. Chips originalise in Europe, Belgiam to be more specific. Just another example of America screwing up a language, and also having very poor geography.
One thing, why do you put "z" is so many words when its meant to be "s"? Stupid Firefox spell check keeps on giving me the wrong spellings.

I guess those crimes are wrong, but seven years is a bit excessive. Not to mention the fact that homosexuality is not provable in a person - the defendant can claim to be gay as part of a grudge against the assaulter.
