To think my OH is just wrong and that's it? (Lighthearted)

[lbsjob87]

OK, here's a question. If you go to the local chippy, what do you get your chips in?
It's a BAG isn't it? A bag of chips is a thing. But my OH insists on calling it "a packet of chips".
I have told him countless times, chips come in a bag, crisps are in a packet (although with crisps it's interchangeable).
I'm right, here, aren't I?

Also, he calls his work lunchbox a dinner box, even though he eats lunch from it at lunchtime.

I realise this isn't the most pressing issue I could face, and there are far bigger ones in our lives, but I wanted a straw poll to see who agrees with me?

Just fish 'n' chips here. Bags and packets aren't even referred to.

That's a whippy or a whippy 99 wiggles

In Ireland it's a single. Even if you're ordering more than one. It'd be two singles...

How could you marry someone who referred to packets of chips and dinner boxes? How can you look at your reflection in the mirror and not burn with shame.

I love regional differences. Will be careful the next time I want chips in NI. Chips with ice cream would please no-one. I already know to order an Ulster fry for brekkie.

In Northern Ireland you just order 'a chip' - no bags, no packets.

Also, the Pokie is the (usually) man in the van with the ice cream! :)

Woah flogging what's a single? In Edinburgh a single is a fish supper item without chips. So a single fish is ... Just a fish. No chips. It doesn't come in a packet either though OP...

Definately a bag of chips and a lunch box, your dh is on drugs.

Bag or a poke a chips - Wi a pickle please. (Really wants that now!)

And tin of juice/ginger (any fizzy pop)

Scottishness showing there I reckon

Well I come from Surrey.
so I am right.....
it is Breakfast
Lunch
Tea
Dinner
Supper

omg OP you never buy a meal from a Chip shop.
It is a snack

(i have had a few)

A dinner box? A DINNER box? And you suffixed your AIBU title with '(Lighthearted)'? FFS .

Poke here too.

Or bag if you insist on talking fancy.

Lot or portion.

'One lot of chips please. Lots of vinegar & a little salt'.

LTB

One lot of chips? ONE LOT OF CHIPS?

It's a chip shop, not an auction house dear.

Bag of chips definitely, but my ds who's 3 calls his lunch box his packed munch box ?? so that is what it's called here now,

Definitely a poke of chips

It differentiates that you don't want a measly portion. You want a LOT of chips .

I hate it when DH gets these things wrong. I remember the tear-rammy-sue incident. Tiramisu ya dick.

Dinner is at 6pm!

Dinner box is mental.

I say tin of pop. Its a very old fashioned thing to say tho. (South Wales)

Dh's family all have "drop of bicarb" when they have indigestion. I get really annoyed, surely you can only have a "drop" of liquid substances?! And why not just buy some Rennie's?!

Bag of chips, lunchbox, cone for ice cream.

I hate this thread - I want chippy chips so badly right now.

With brown sauce.

It's a bag of chips and a butty box obviously! You could even have a chip butty in your butty box if you so desired (although the steam would make the barm cake soggy.

Chips=bag

Lunch box = Piece box - as in a piece being a sandwich .

Pop, squash = juice - fresh orange , diluting juice, fizzy juice they are all just juice .

Snack at school break = play piece

Snack after swimming = shivery bite

Ice cream = cone, Slider ( I e cream between 2 wafers ). Oyster ( ice cream in between 2 bowl shaped wafers ), Basher ( ice cream with a snowball on top between 2wafers) . The ice cream between 2 chocolate wafers had name that is no longer PC ( although it was never racist , it was just what that particular combination was called )

I love the regional variations .

Chips.

Just. Chips.
