[@disk0553]

You might say "hot chips" if you want to make it clear.

[@jeffgreen3376]

Well, nobody goes out of their way to get potato chips (or crisps) here in the USA. So yeah, in that context it would mean french fries. Nobody in the USA asks you “do you wanna go get some chips?”. They would ask "do you wanna go get a burger?" and a side of french fries would pretty much be a given. Chips and french fries are both side dishes here in the States. We normally have fries with a hamburger or chips with a cold sandwich.

[@forgivemenot1]

The better way to explain it is we hate a lot of syllables, if it has three we'll shorten it to two if it has two we'll shorten it to one if possible, but we'll also make a one syllable words two syllables because we also seem to love vowels particularly O.

The word "Football" is quite a generalisation when speaking in global terms. there is Association Football, Rugby Football, Australian Football, Gaelic Football, Gridiron Football and probably a lot more around the world (which are all called "Football" in there respective countries)..... when football and rugby were in development they both existed as different variations of the same sport called "Football". To differentiate between the two variations of the sport they were unofficially named "Soccer" and "Rugger" then later officially named Association Football and Rugby Football (Rugby Football has now been split into two variations of the sport, Rugby Union and Rugby League). In the U.K the word "Soccer" was popular and widely used until the 1970's (in the late 70s the sport started to get more popular within American culture and the British for whatever reason didn't like this and therefor stopped using the word soccer).......... ...............anyway my point is that Soccer is and English word that Americans have adopted to be clear as to which sport they are talking about, so you cant really blame them.

For the American vocabulary for the "liquor store", if you go in the North East, it is "Package Store" or just "Packie" (note, not the offensive slang for a person from Pakistan). In the state of Virginia, it is just an "ABC Store".

[@gravitasfailure]

And if you're from Michigan, it's called a Party Store.

[@templarkiller2926]

Who calls people from Pakistan Packies? That's dumb I just call them dirty. That was a joke

I think it might be regional - In Ohio a liquor store is one that sells hard/high proof alcohol (Typically they're pretty limited, my county has ONE), while many other stores sell beer/wine and other lower proof alcohols.

In America, ice lollies or icy-poles are called popsicles, combining the two words "pop" and "icicle." Also, I don't say "candies," I just say "candy." For example, instead of saying, "I have a bucket full of candies," I say, "I have a bucket full of candy." This also happens when American people pluralize "beer" into "beers." But, I think John was trying to fit in with the others, or it's an American regional difference.

Well, I think, historically England and Australia were tied together. They may still be a British commonwealth nation -not sure. So they honor the Queen as their head of state (someone can correct me here if that isn't true any longer). Naturally they will share the same language as their mother country in the same way that Puerto Ricans speak American English since they are an American territory.

[@r.fairlie7186]

Yes, your comment is correct and we're still part of the British Commonwealth. The percentage of UK migrants here is the highest of all groups. I also think that we use similar words because our spelling is the same. Noah Webster wanted to eliminate European language influences from the USA. (My pet hate is what was done to "aluminium".

Close. It's not that you can take it off the premises but you must. Their license only allows them to sell alcohol for consumption off the premises which is why it's called an off licence.
