Americans Answer This

I went to the NASCAR race in Michigan for the weekend (I'm Canadian), I'm not really a fan but its cool to see in person and an excuse to get hammered in Obama-land for a bit. But I go out for breakfast one day, and the waitress goes

"Homefries or Freedom Fries"

 I start laughing and go What are Freedom fries? she goes

"American Fries" ,

then a Canadian I was with goes I think she means French Frys. So I'm like ok I'll take some of your "freedumz friez", she wasn't happy and I got my food 15 minutes later then everyone else at my table. Then I heard her call french toast "freedom toast". I undestand you guys like all your freedumz which you seem to think are exlusively American, but where does this end? Should I take my freedom car to the freedom store to buy some freedom dogs next time I'm down?

Sooo the point of this thread, do you guys all actually call french fries "freedom fries" or this is exclusive to Michigan, or Registered Republicans, or NRA members, or what?

Exactly. Still plays out in rural America unfortunately. Especially in the Midwest and the South.

my mum had a similar experience when she visited the old US of A. she was in a cafe and and she ordered a BLACK coffee (without milk) and the waitress was horrified that she could be so racist. i mean there is a point where you should be able to use the work black and clearly not be making any reference at all to black people. its like the word has become a fucking taboo.

yea right, your mum is a liar, no waitress would ever think that. Your mummmified remains probably asked for a n-word coffee.
