No. Because I am old and set in my ways. Also, I could not have kept a straight face while saying "freedom fries".
-
Ah, no. It's just stupid.
-
No, and I never called french toast freedom toast.
-
Good Lord, no. I'd say it's a sad person who would call them "freedom fries" just because France didn't want to join us on our Middle-Eastern excursion.
-
No, I call them chips.
-
No, the only freedom they give you is the freedom to get fat!
-
No. I always thought that was a joke.
-
I have because we used to live near this great take out place and they called their fries "Freedom Fries". You could get them if you just said fries but not if you said French Fries. Otherwise, no.
-
I did for a while, but as a joke, that was such a stupid idea...won't back us up in a war, take that France!
-
Only sarcastically to illustrate the stupidity of the whole thing.
-
G'day Trojan Medic, Thank you for your question. I actually call them chips like most Australians. Besides I think that French fries actually come from Belgium. Regards
-
no. i always say frys and i would never change that. i have a mind of my own lol

French Fries!
-
They taste the same to me, so either will do.
-
French Fries!!! Bah-humbug I just can't stand the term "Freedom Fries"
-
French = lousy, obnoxious, air-head, and bathes far too infrequently.

Oppression Rings.

pommes frites
-
It's amazing what they'll come out with to get you on thier side. I'll just stick with french fries.
-
French Fries.
-
G'day Jed, Thank you for your question. In Australia, we call them chips. Of the two alternatives, French fries although the Belgians claim that they developed them first. Regards
-
French Fries. That whole freedom fries thing was just embarrassing.
-
French Fries. I don't get into all that.
-
No, but I did mention that the authors of that phrase should Freedom Kiss each other's butts. ;) I never called them Freedom Fries because I really didn't think it would protect us from terrorism or keep us free. ;)
-
No. Why would I have? Because they are unhealthy and clog our arteries? Because the French, our long time friends disagreed about the war - and were right? Because there is really nothing French about them? Because they can give us gas and lead to a form of freedom - so to speak? Fun question.
-
Only once as a joke.
-
I don't get it. Why would I? And I call them chips, anyway.
-
Freedom Kisses Freedom bread Freedom toast Freedom beret anymore? I eat patat not Freedom fries
-
Never, especially since I'm Belgian and know that fries don't come from France :-)
-
I could but I never have. Serves no purpose.
-
When right wing propagandists say JUMP! I do not.
-
No wonder so many people from other countries think America is populated with ignorant rednecks. "Freedom Fries" and "These colors don't run." top my list of redneck patriotism slogans.
-
No, I think that was really stupid as can be.
-
I haven't and never will. It's utterly stupid and a sure sign of pseudo-patriotism something I dispise
-
My sister and I were at Burger King and I took a bite of french fry and started a mock orgasm. My sister was just staring at me and I held the fry up high and said loudly "Oh my god! It tastes like freedom!" Only time I've ever called them freedom fries, it got quite a laugh out of everyone. :P

Very few people called them "freedom fries", except to make fun of the Republicans. The expression was started when Republican congressman Bob Ney made the House of Representatives cafeteria change the name. If the name "Bob Ney" sounds familiar, you may be remembering when he was convicted of bribery and federal corruption and forced to resign from Congress when he went to prison. Most people used the term with scare quotes to ridicule it. I may have done so. I don't recall whether I held up my fingers to make air quotes. Here's what the French embassy had to say on the matter: 'The French embassy made no comment beyond pointing out that French fries probably come from Belgium. "We are at a very serious moment dealing with very serious issues and we are not focusing on the name you give to potatoes," said Nathalie Loisau, an embassy spokeswoman.'

No but I had a hell of a wild night with a Freedom Tickler once. Ah, memories...*sigh*
-
No, I never have. I don't even call them french fries. I just call them fries.
-
No and No.
-
no, i havent called them freedom fries i've never heard of freedom fries lol...i just call em fries or papas joj xD
-
No, I think it was a stupid fad. I mean, the US gets attacked by terrorists and we retaliate by... lashing out at the French? By renaming a food that isn't even French in the first place? Not thought out well, that's all I'm saying.
-
I just call them fries.
