As I understand it, the French, ever prideful of food, have always been in disdain that fries got called French Fries. They don't know it yet, but these war hawks who are supporting this war in the best way they can, renaming French Fries into Freedom Fries, do not yet know that, in reality, they are doing the French a favor. Funny, ain't it?

Actually, "French fries" is an American malapropism. The correct terminology is "frenched fries."

1. To cut (green beans, for example) into thin strips before cooking.

2. To trim fat or bone from (a chop, for example).

3. or French

Slang To give a French kiss to.
Vulgar Slang To perform oral sex on.

French toast (pain perdu) is French!
