Or any other such contrived name alteration? I know that the business is old by now, but I've seen several references to it recently, and I was just curious how widespread it actually got (or is it *DUNDUN-DUHHHNNNN* still going on?)
So, Freedom toast, freedom fries, liberty cabbage, etc, have you ever seen these on any serious menus?

I personally haven't, and I think the whole thing was really overblown to make USians look silly.
Sure, congress did that, but the whole of Washington DC is just one big practical joke that the US has been playing on the world for centuries, ever since Canadians first burned down the White House and we thought that they might feel better about themselves if they felt they'd done something important.

I've had irish nachos.

Never actually seen freedom fries. Ever. I've heard you can get them near the Jerome Park Reservior though.

Americans ARE silly. They decide to make themselves separtae from the UK by having different words. It makes no sense at all? America got wacked up at some point and I tink it was when they declared the war of independence/separateusfrombritainbecausewe'rereallystupidanddon'tknowwhatwewant

Yeah. There's this little deli/convenience store that I got lunch at a couple of times. They had "Freedom" fries. They actually crossed French out on the menue and wrote Freedom above it. Kinda pathetic.

Even outside of the US, I have only ever heard it used in politics.

I have yet to find anyone honestly saying freedom fries. I'll admit to having had little contact with a vast majority of the US population.

I haven't encountered any of that yet.

...but then I'm not American, either :p

You shouldn't have french fries anyway :P Call them belgian fries if you will, but they're not french, so meh.

Why they don't call them by their proper name - "Chips" - i dunno.

You crazy americans...

(you could do something about how thin they are as well, chips are supposed to be stodgy and fat)

I haven't had freedom fries. Yes, I'm American, just like the locameter says. No, I'm not misleading you. Canada's McDonalds menu is much better than the US one by the way.

Chips is only used by the British.

Everybody else has fries in it somewhere. Pomfrittes is the norm, everybody should call it pomfrittes! Or something with fries.

would you like freedom fries or curly fries with that?
KILLER JESUITS! :mp5:

Just forget any affiliation either way and just call them "fries".

It's not the frogs that call them pomfrittes though :p it's everyone else. The germans call them something like it, the dutch call them something like it, the danes call it something like it, the list goes on!

Call them pomfrittes or I will fart in your general direction! :D


Might I also remind you that English has had substantial influence from northern germanic (viking, i.e. Danish) and latin (French) language? That means that, hah! they invented your language :D

Okay, I will stop now.

So? Who invented the damned language? Ergo, british useage must always be the correct version. WE OWNZ THE LANGUAGE.
I'm believe the language is called "English" and not "British" thank you very much.

How the fuck can you say you invented the American language? It was invented by Thomas Edison just before his discovery of the time machine. He then brought the American language back in time to Roman-controlled England and taught the English.

I can say that because Thomas Edison, just like all major historical, cultural and religious figures was secretly British.

Well, welsh. They all were.

Except Lloyd George, he was lying.

If Edison was British why didn't he have a proper british name like Omar or Sanjay?

Because we already use the word chips for crisps.

Think about it: Fries are 'chipped' potatoes, hence chip. Crisps, are .... well.... Crisp !!!. It eminently logical, and makes far more sense that the "fries"/"chips" system.

pre-fewking-cisely.

The language barrier between the British and the Americans is weird. On one hand, the British language seems to be nothing but slang and accent. On the other hand, America's language seems to be derived from many other langauges, and simplified, or Americanized. Mostly Latin, but some words from Spanish, some from French, some from Russian, the list goes on.

Well since we invented them, the American potato chip that is, and the potato itself is a product of the Americas, we'll call 'em whatever we want. I'm officially changing the name of "crisps" to Freedom Flakes.

But fries are fried, and calling chips "chips" requires less effort than "crisps". The name resembles the noise it makes when eaten. A quick, snapping name. Chip.

Only problem is, we were cooking with them before there was a nation of America.

Anyway, if the world was fair, then you'd all be Basque. But it isn't, we invented the language, and chips they stay.

I'll bet you hate the metric system too.

You can't "chip" a potatoe. You cut a potatoe. Then fry it. Thus, "fries". Logical, eh?

Chips are slices. Turned crispy. With the alliteration, "crispy, cruchy, chips!" it goes over well in marketing. Logical, va?

You so can chip a potato. I do it all the time (note, every british household has one super old, super sharp knife with a broken handle which is, for some inexplicable reason, perfect for the making of chips).

I don't know about that "chipping". That must be left over from the Victorian era. Down in Texas they "wedge" them sometimes. Thus, "wedges" are also a good word. Possibly even better, as when there isn't a knife for cutting, there's always an ax.

Not since mid-2002 or so. I saw them when I was going to grad school in Arkansas. If I saw them now, I would hope the shop owner was serving them ironically.

I don't like labeling ANYTHING with ANY countries name. It seems kinda silly. I mean, are vegatable oil and potatos only available in France?

I call them Deep-Fried Potatos, and to the poster a few posts back, I cut them extra thick, because thin fries are for pussies! :D



(By the way, I don't French kiss my wife either. I stick my tongue in her mouth ;) )

What do they call burgers then? ('Burger' being shortened from 'Hamburger' meaning 'from Hamburg')

You can't "chip" a potatoe. You cut a potatoe. Then fry it. Thus, "fries". Logical, eh?
Fry them?! Do you have any idea how much grease fried chips absorb?! And you've put an 'e' on the end of 'potato'! *head explodes*

What do they call burgers then? ('Burger' being shortened from 'Hamburger' meaning 'from Hamburg')
Burgers are just burgers, probably because "Freedom Processed Beef Compressed into Patty Form" doesn't have quite the same zing to it as "Freedom Fries."
Anyway, USians have always liked the Germans. We were even fond of Hitler until he started being all like "My ally has declared war on you, and so shall I!" on us. That was tres uncool, and so we mocked his favorite food (sauerkraut) for a few years until he killed himself out of shame. (Little known fact, renaming sauerkraut was insturmental in demoralizing German soldiers and winning WWII)

In reference to your first person plural usage: are you American now?

I had the pleasure of visiting 20+ states this year and ....no Freedom Fries. Nope, never been anywhere that serves said Freedom Fries. Its a silly notion and whoever started it needs a good swift kick in the ass. No one I know has ever been anywhere that serves them either. So people in the UK calm yourselves.

It's potatoes folks. Stop mocking the almighty French Fry.

Yes. I ran into this small fast-food joint somwhere in Denville, NJ and in the window I saw a sign for 'Freedom Fries' :D

The largest cafeteria where I work (and probably some of the smaller ones) lists freedom fries on their menus. I would order them by their real name if I werent already accustomed to calling them just "fries" anyway. I thought it was hilarious the first time I saw it, but it's a US federal government facility, so I guess I shouldve expected it. Other than that, I havent seen it anywhere. I think its silly. If people in the US really hate the French, they should return the Statue of Liberty.

Sadly, I have personally encountered freedom fries. Also "freedom apple pie". :rolleyes: This was at a Baker's Sqaure, believe it or not.

My high school served freedom fries, freedom bread pizza, and freedom onion soup a couple years ago. I refused to buy anything from the cafeteria during that time, I was completely ticked off.

USian....?

Could've sworn we named oursselves something different! :confused:

It rhymed with "overlord"...

I eat freedom fries, freedom toast, freedom onion soup, and who doesn't like freedom kisses?

Yup, I've encountered freedom fries...they tasted quite simliar to french fries, curiously enough. =P

I have eaten Freedom Fries at a local restaurant, and they still call them that. I also named my Fantasy Football (American)team the Freedom Fries, just because my brother was in my league and he called his team the Unfound WMD.

I refuse to vote in the poll because it uses insulting terminology. The word is American. A-mer-i-can. As is the United States of AMERICA. This "USian" crap is just an anti-american jab disguised as political correctness.

Don't worry. Some ignorant fuckheads don't understand that we are AMERICANS.

It's just some politically correct crap that assumes that just because we're the United States of America that we're being presumptious in calling ourselves Americans... as if we're laying claim to the whole continent.
Nevermind that the British (Read: UKians in fuckheadese) & other countries have been calling us such since the 1600s. Indeed, the term was in widespread parlance when Pitt was debating "War with the Colonies".

What the fuckhead that posted this poll neglected is that by his fuckhead logic, Albanians should be called "Republikaians", as the country is called the "Republika e Shqiperise" and NOT ALBANIA.

Note that I'm using the term fuckhead in its primary form:

From the Official Markreich Dictionary (C)2004:
fuckhead or fuck-head (n) (1) Someone that does something politicially correct, but only applies it to a specific instance.

I just call them fries because at work I try to cut down syllables where ever I can.

"Four Dark beans slaw"

That's what I say, most people would say.

"Four piece dark chicken dinner with baked beans and coleslaw."

But it's not like this is uncommon. Anyone remember Victory Cabbage?

Because we already use the word chips for crisps.

So do we. There's "hot chips" and "chips".

Freedom!

http://www.magicdragon.com/Wallace/Brave2.html

I think we need to address an issue here. Are what the brits call "chips" closer to fries or wedges? Sounds me like they are oversized fries which we in the resteraunt business call "1/8th cut potatoe wedges" or "wedges" for short.

So do we. There's "hot chips" and "chips".

So! Pile on the malt, mayo, ketchup or peanut sauce as you see fit!

Really?
www.webster.com says:

Main Entry: 1Amer·i·can
Pronunciation: &-'mer-&-k&n, -'m&r-, -'mar-, -i-k&n
Function: noun
1 : an American Indian of No. America or So. America
2 : a native or inhabitant of No. America or So. America
3 : a citizen of the U.S.

...so it's basically unclear. However, I've never heard of USian anywhere except in the forums.

And how often does one refer to the continents. I mean, really. The EU is an obvious exception (as Europeans are finally learning what the Americans figured out 230 years ago: there is strength in numbers...)... but I doubt New Zealanders would enjoy being called "Oceanians" or "Australians".

Also, I can speak with veracity that Canadian tourists HATE being called Americans. That's why they sew those little flags onto their stuff. ;)

*snip*
You are forgetting the most important part (and the whole reason for my use of the the term):
American -> 8 letters
USian -> 5 letters
Further the letters in "USian" can be typed using a nice "left, right, left, right, left" rhythm for your hands, making it easier and faster to type out, hence my use of it. I myself am a USian, but I still use the word because I'm also lazy and practical. I also got tired of people saying "Oh, by American you must mean Indians." or "I'm American, IN CANADA!!!omglol111one!!!1pwnt!"
And Albanians don't count because, as my poll has conclusively proven, they don't exist. That entire country is just a myth, probably perpetuated by the Evil Jewish Corporatist Republican-Controlled Media with Leftist Bias.

i'm not sure what a myrthian is, but i like the idea of being one. i'm guessing it has something to do with myrth, which i'm not very good at bit like the idea of that too.

as for amerikan vx Amerikan, i'm still objecting to my hemisphere being named after someone from the other hemisphere who never even saw the place but presumed to make maps based on the tall tails of drunken seamen.

as for chips, crisps, or fries, the're all greassy sludge anyway, have never contributed anything to freedom, and are no fault of the french, who don't need our help to get up to their own bit of mischief should they feel so inclined.

You are an American. California or Connecticut are just as much states in "The Americas" as Canada or Columbia. They aren't soverign, but they most certainly are states.

Hahah, I love this line.


Although I fail to see why it matters what US citizens call themselves.

American, USian, Colonials...

Or failing all that US Citizens. Avoids any sort of confusion. Unless everyone on nationstates (that happens to be in the US) is an illegal immigrant.


Yeah, go with that option. Although "American" is the common usage.


Bugger it. Although I have never seen "Freedom Fries" And quite why anyone would want to rebrand something in such a silly way I am not sure, why not use food colouring and make them red white and blue in the process?

Please tell me they did not do that....

I have never seen freedom fries - I am glad that most store owners in NJ didn't buy into the BS. I have friends who will not drink any French alcohol or use French products though. Personally, I reserve my hatred for individuals, not an entire country.

I eat freedom fries, freedom toast, freedom onion soup, and who doesn't like freedom kisses?

But do you use Freedom Letters?

I must admit I find that when a woman has a Freedom accent, she gains a point or two on the hot scale.

They had freedom fries and freedom toast on the menu at almost every chow hall I went to when I was in the Air Force.
First time I saw 'freedom toast' on the breakfast menu I didn't know what they were talking about. I guess I thought it was some kind of military thing, so, always up for trying something new, I ordered it and realized, 'hey, this is French toast.'
Same thing with the fries.

Needless to say, I'm a little slow sometimes.

I cant believe it what americans do. Freedom fries sounds stupid. They are not even american thing. I will just stick to calling them chips.

And how often does one refer to the continents. I mean, really. The EU is an obvious exception (as Europeans are finally learning what the Americans figured out 230 years ago: there is strength in numbers...)... but I doubt New Zealanders would enjoy being called "Oceanians" or "Australians".

Actually there is many european people who hate the Eu, i am one of them.

Also, STOP WITH THE SEGREGATED POLLS.

So? Who invented the damned language? Ergo, british useage must always be the correct version. WE OWNZ THE LANGUAGE.

Please remove the stick from your "arse."

And I'm not a USian. What kind of stupid term is that? Nobody buys that "I'm lazy" garbage. If you were, it would just be USan. No point adding the I if you're going for laziness. Plus, look at your poll. You spelled honor with a U. If you were as lazy as you claim, why type the extra letter?

From one USian to another, get pissed about something important, not some stupid IT talk word.

As one AMERICAN to another, I respect your right to your opinion, no matter how wrong I think it is.

Word processors take even more time, and it amounts to more than just 3 extra letters, it is three extra letters I want to refer to someone from the US.

If you type "USians" 30 times in a post, then do a "replace all" of "USian" to "American", you've just mitigated your sloth, and are still gramatically correct. "USian" isn't a word any more than "irregardless".

Reinoians isn't any easier to spell. Why would I make life harder on myself?

Because you're saying United Statesians when you say "USians", which is taking the beginning of the title of the country in question. Therefore all Spaniards become "Reinonians", as they are now "Kingdomians" (in English) and not Spaniards. See what I mean?

Actually . . .
Sodomites. With the exception of the last three letters, it is both shorter and uses the same rhythm. You have given me much to think about, I just might swich over to sodomites. It even looks pleasing.

Well, at least you'd be consistent then.

I'll perpetuate what I want! I've been perpetuating the cycle of capitalistic oppression for years, and I've yet to stop just because some hippie told me not to.

I'm fine with you perpetuating anything that actually exists. Becoming a cheese-eating surrender monkey and saying "USian" isn't useful nor valid. It'd be like saying "colored" because "African-Canadian" is too long.

No, Albanians just don't exist, they're just a myth designed to keep the Macedonian navy at bay.:p
Now, I think the best response here is: fuck off, I'm making sandwiches.

No stick, it's called "having a sense of humour". Maybe one day you may develop one.

PS:- i dunno why exactly you started ranting about USians in response to my post, i wouldn't call a citizen of that fine upstanding nation that.

While I don't agree with the past five years either, I proudly say:

I'm a merkin!

Wait ... why do people want a pubic wig?!

I have no freakin' idea. The mind boggles. I suppose baldness down below could be embarrassing if you were male. If you were female, you'd be fulfilling quite a few slightly dubious male fantasies.

I suppose if it's a properly tailored pubic wig, there'd be none of that "hair in the back of the throat" brouhaha after oral sex.

Brings an entirely new meaning to the phrase "carpet muncher" though...

Yes, I can see that. I prefer it on "real grass" anyhow.
I could talk for ages on this, like where does the hair come from?
But, to not hijack a thread, today, freedom fries, tomorrow, freedom merkins.

The hair comes from the oppressed children of the world who are shaved mercilessly by the evil Bush junta. BUSH IZ HITLERZ LOLZ.

Ahem. Yeah, let them go back to discussing fries, more rational.

Let me just throw these chips into the Boston harbour dressed up as an Indian and...

*dumbs kilo upon kilo of chips into the Boston harbour and laughs madly*

you know we let you win that war because we were more concerned with our india/west indies trade than a few stiff necked puritans and a bunch of mouthy ex-cons don't you?

no offence like :p

Can't beat America when we have the Masons, Illuminati, and God Himself on ourside. Not to mention the spirit of liberty and true freedom. Funny how the South didn't really want to come along with it, and now they're the stronghold of Americanism.

Apparently, some French guys had something to do with it, too. But I think if the minutemen had smelt of garlic from miles away, we wouldn't have been as succesful* as we were. They obviously had nothing to do with it.

Yeah, but which Illuminati?

And did Hagbard Celine have anything to do with it?

I wonder how many threads i can hijack into irrelevance in one night...

There's only one Illuminati, silly.

No. Actually, it was the eternal George Washington, who is from the direct blood line of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdaline.

I was your co-conspirator, should we face ... :eek: ... moderator action!

I was lead to believe by Robert Anton Wilson that there were 4 of the blighters and they formed an evil rock band. Teach me to trust counter-cultural authors eh?

If you can throw in Leonardo Da Vinci, and some modern conspiracy to the mix, i've got a movie contract for you to sign.

Moderators? I always wondered how moderate they were...

The Illuminati was just a puppet of the Illuminati, its all connected!
Sorry, Leo's not in it. Hitler is. He's actually Cain, and he's immortal. Nice punishment, huh? Don't you wish you could commit the first murder?

On the subject of murder i always wondered, if meat is murder, does that make gravy assault?

It depends on the circumstance.

Gravy is like drinking the prepared juices of the meat that are excreted while cooking, so I think of more as being practical.
Did I just say drinking? I meant "making use of".
*shifty eyes*

So maybe not murder, more "justifiable homicide". Fair play.

i think "making use of" sounds more disturbing, especially as we were discussing genitalia a while back...

"Making use of the extcreted juices" or "drinking extcreted juices" is like potatoe or potahtoe. :p

Speaking of which, what excreted juice would be more distrubing to fry chips in?

I order them everytime I go to a fast food place. Even if they dont call them that. Freedom fries are as American as apple pie.

Is the gung-ho American attitude of yours real or an act to rile up people on the forums?
I'm just asking here. No flames comming from hither.

Never seen Freedom Fries before, I've heard people call fries that in a jocular manner but that's it. Everyone I've ever lived with all thought it was a big joke.

You might want to see a doctor about the white and blue stuff.

If you type "USians" 30 times in a post, then do a "replace all" of "USian" to "American", you've just mitigated your sloth, and are still gramatically correct. "USian" isn't a word any more than "irregardless".
Work, work, work. I slave and slave away to produce kwality humour for you, and all you do is complain.
And, if you notice, I also used the word "euphafoods", which isn't a word. I am t3h Fiddles, I make up words, arguments, facts, and current events all the time.
Because you're saying United Statesians when you say "USians", which is taking the beginning of the title of the country in question. Therefore all Spaniards become "Reinonians", as they are now "Kingdomians" (in English) and not Spaniards. See what I mean?
Calling them Kingdomians wouldn't seperate them from other people in Kingdoms. There is only one "United States" currently, and people can refer to it as the "United States" (sometimes even just "the States"). So, USian works to seperate people in the US from people in the Rest of the World, and that is really the only function of nationalities anyway.
It is also visually pleasing because the lower curve of the capital "S" counters the curving of the "a" as they oppose each other across the "i" (which is symmetrical, and there for an ideal letter to stand at the center of the sentence). The two curves and the i also give an impression of phallic symbolism, if you're feeling Freudian.
Further the "n" closes as a counter to the opening of the "U"
Well, at least you'd be consistent then.
Omigod, dude, don't be such a sodomite.
Like, totally.
I'm fine with you perpetuating anything that actually exists. Becoming a cheese-eating surrender monkey and saying "USian" isn't useful nor valid. It'd be like saying "colored" because "African-Canadian" is too long.
No, I say AfCas, which can be typed entirely with the left hand, is only 4 letters long, and has the added benefit of confusing anybody with whom I might be speaking.
Excellent. I'll take roast beef on a sub with horseradish mustard, romaine, onions and swiss, with some black olives and sweet peppers if you have 'em.
I have salted ham with onions and sauce.
What sauce?
I really don't know, but it smells rancid, has a funky color and tastes fucking wunderbar.

Chips is only used by the British.

Everybody else has fries in it somewhere. Pomfrittes is the norm, everybody should call it pomfrittes! Or something with fries.


Um and the Irish too!

Actually, its Pommes Frites.
