A rage comic poking fun at the Aussies. Does it still hold up?

As an Australian I can comment on this, theres this wonderful thing called "Context"

At McDonalds they refer to them as fries, but if you ask for a large chips, they know what you mean. If you go into a petrol station and ask where the crisps are, nobodies head explodes. If you go into a place that has ALL 3 (french fries, chips and crisps) and say "Can I get some chips" the person will ask for clarificaton.

British roots and American television has made OUR english quite flexible.

it holds, but we might refer to "fries" as hot chips if there's possibility of confusion

They're Hot Chips if you're being fancy

It's context sensitive. We know what we mean.

1. "I'm going to pick up some chips on my way to your place."
2. "Hey, can i have some of your chips?"

Couldn't be simpler.

This isn't poking fun at us, this is just facts :)

as an Australian let me explain, fast to get, unhealthy potato = chips.

Shut up and get some real i.e. Belgian fries.

Let's confuse them even more:

Hot chips and potato chips.

They’re freedom fries now

You see, Chips are deep fried slices of potato, but Chips are ..

My friend from Adelaide always says crisps.

Errr... I'm from the UK and they're fries. These are chips If it's think it's fries, if it's thick it's a chip.

Usually not a problem because of context but you can easily specify hot chips or packet chips in places where they might have both such as a school or sports canteen.

It's communicated by context cues the same way one word has different meanings and context points to towards the meaning the person is communicating with a word

Though it does get annoying when the context cues are missing for example someone asking you if you want chips and not specifying what type

I'm guessing Australian language for "chips" calls them both that because they are a product made from potato that is usually salted and the two in the image are just different styles of the same potato product

Just came back from Australia. Chips (or crisps) don't seem to exist anywhere but grocery/convenience stores. So I never really heard them referred to as anything.

Restaurants exclusively serve fries as far as I could tell. Even with sandwiches. And they call them "chips" whether they are skinny or fat.

Latin America: Hold my beer

I've not seen that lulzsec character in a long long time...

the only question i have is why does the person representing aussies looks like Jackie Chan?

You know which one is what cause they call them potato chips

Yes this does hold up

Pommes Chips

Wait really?

Papas fritas, papas fritas.

French: Les Frites; Les Chips

Flat chips and stick chips.

*cheeps 🇦🇺

None of those pictures are chips, they're all fries, chips are chunky.

Where do chisps fit in

Patatas fritas, patatas de bolsa.

No Brit would refer to those as chips, they are fries in Britain too

Today I feel french

French fries are crispy, potato chips are crunchy. If one looks like a "chip" off a potato, it's the potato chip. We should be using the metric system and sure sometimes a school might get shot up once a day or two BUT AT LEAST WE GOT THAT RIGHT

Chips und Fritts.

i object to the use of a portrait of Jeff Bezos to denote all Americans.. otherwise it's funny..
