That got a lot of press, but nobody in the US calls them anything but "french fries" or, more popularly, "fries".

We tend to think the French are snobbish and insulting. We like their wine. They tend to think we are crude and aggressive. They like our whiskey. I don't think Sarkozy will change that. Bottom line is we are both democracies with much more in common with each other than our differences might imply. With Sarkozy coming in and Bush going out, I'm hopeful France and the US will have a new chapter of good relations.
