Kettle Chips are 'merican and, as I'm sure you already know, there is some unrest in the colonies.

Potato chips are an American invention. If it wasn't for "the colonies", you wouldn't have any "crisps" (or Anchor Steam) to enjoy. :headbang:

There is only one truth and it is that people do have penises of different sizes and one of them is the longest.

I can explain what is going on here  -  there were obviously one or two errors in the original translations -  you know when we first agreed to let you adopt
our 'english' language....yep....thats what's happened :zoinks:

Ive noticed it is always hardest to talk to Brits on the internet. Not that I don't LOVE them, but they confuse me sometimes

Years and years ago I when I first started chatting online, I was talking to a nice young man that told me about how he would to the bar and get pissed.

I thought to myself, wow, I cant believe drinking makes him so ANGRY.

its vice versa

To us  'pants' are underwear, mens underwear like boxers or briefs

when watching american telly if i hear a phrase like 'and he got no pants on'  i would look up quickly with my tongue hanging out expecting to see
todgers swinging freely :penis:

only to be disappointed cus all that was meant was 'he got no trousers on'  :eyebrows: :eyebrows: :eyebrows:

Wrong!

The objects on the left are Chips, and the objects on the right are Chips.

If I call them crisps, it's only on this site so the differentiation is made.

I don't know if they are both always called chips across Australia. The only differentiation, say if you were talking to someone and said, I feel like chips...you might say 'a packet of chips' for the objects on the left, and the objects on the right would be called 'hot chips', if asked to clarify.
