it's ridiculous isn't it?
But the funniest Americanism i heard was that they call braces (the kind to hold trousers up) suspenders!!!! Imagine them walking into a shop and asking for a pair of red suspenders!!!! |

for the same reason YOU call crisp, chips. they're 2 different countries!!!!!!!!! if you say, "crisps" in the US, we'll have NO idea what your talking about.
To you guys in the UK, why do you call chips, french fries?.......if you say 'chips' here, we'll think your talking about what you know as crisps.
man these words are fun.
buscuit - cookie
boot- trunk of a car
CHIPS- FRENCH FRIES
CRISPS- POTATO CHIPS
flat- apartment
rubber- eraser.
i can't wait to go to the UK and use these words! i'm really going to enjoy this. |

Why do you call fries chips?
Why do you call erasers rubbers?
Why do we call football soccer?
Is "f-g" a cigarette or a slur?
Is turkey a country or a bird?
It's all about the weirdness of language, what can I say? |

when the chips are down they call them crisps, but when they cooked to a crisp they call them fries. Fritz in Germany calls em frites. Ahhh, I'm off.......... |

It might have to do with the fact that CHIPS were invented in America.
The real question is why everybody else calls them by the wrong name.
Why do you freaking foreigners call a Vacation "Holiday"?
A holiday is an observed day like 4th of July......when we broke free from you freaking Brits. |

What kind of ignorant question is this. Because its a different country different culture, you can't expect everywhere to be the same |
|

maybe its because they're DIFFERENT to us.
its a different part of the world
with a different culture.
so somethings will be ....different.
thats why travel broadens the mind so you have to be careful
I wonder are they annoyed that we call chips crisps?
I doubt it.. |
