This is a question What nonsense did you believe in as a kid?

Ever thought that you could get flushed down the loo? That girls wee out their bottoms? Or that bumming means two men rubbing their bums together? Tell us about your childhood misconceptions. Thanks to Joefish for the suggestion.

I insist on asking for
Chocolate Bread in poncy coffee places. 'Do you mean pain au chocolate?'. 'Why, do I sound French?'.

No. You sound like a dick.

One of my mates
used to pride himself on the fact he always asked for 'chips' in MacDonalds.

Not unexpectedly, the server would often say something like 'er, you mean fries, right?', to which he'd go off on a bit of a rant about American/ English blah blah blah . . .

He looked an utter cock doing it.

That's just dumb. Fries and chips are different, and those serves in McDonald's are fries.

Depends where you are.
In the US, I think what you say is correct.

In the UK they're more often than not called chips - what the US calls chips, we call crisps.

So he wasn't entirely wrong, but he was being a dick. In the UK we all know exactly what 'fries' are, there's no confusion.

Yeah
Because annoying people pointlessly over small points is your job.

I use the word "comedian"
In the broadest, most untrue sense of the word*.


*With apologies to Messrs Fry & Laurie.

Or like:
"Oh, so you're a comedian are you Sir?"

Hahahaha - who was that? Jack Dee?
"If pulled over by the police, and they ask you what your job is, don't tell them you're a comedian - they don't like it."
