chips and chips?

[Todd-'o'-Vision]

if we are supposed to call french fries chips, and we already call potato chips chips

how are we to distinguish chip from chips when asked if we want some chips?

French fries = chips.
Potato chips = crisps.

Fried potato chips are CHIPS
packages of thinly sliced deep fried potato are CRISPS

Silly!

well if potato chips are crisps and corn/wheat/potato/rice thingies are crisps

how are we to distinguish crisps from crisps when asked if we want some crisps?
