to hate chicken nuggets being referred to as "nuggets"

[nametaken]

I mean ffs, how hard is it to put "chicken nuggets and chips". Oh no, they have to put "nuggets and chips"

Blimey, you really have got the language grump today, haven't you.

Personally I'd just avoid all places with a Kids' menu or that sell filthy things like 'nuggets'. You'll probably feel a lot better.

Maybe because they have no chicken in them?

They are just that - little hard lumps -'nuggets'.

I believe accuracy to be important.

One of our beloved guinea pigs is called nuggets so it sends a chill up my spine when i see just 'nuggets' on the menu.

And no the other guinea pig isn't called chips!

It's environmentally friendly since it wastes less ink For every 1000000 times they do that they save one FeltTipPen tree

Because 'chicken' could be false advertising?

It probably seriously is because they are not actually chicken.
That is why in fast food places milkshakes are called 'shakes'. Not milkshakes - just fatshakes
And fatshakes wouldn't be such a big seller.

Actually they probably would now...

can I add that 'burger' annoys me similarly - ' I'm having burger and chips' ! though 'beef burger' sounds very old fashioned for some reason

I also hate 'juice' and while I'm at it, I loathe 'do you want a coffee ?' it's a cup of coffee fgs

There still rank whether you call them chicken nuggets or nuggets.

Golden Nuggets, do they still exist ?
