[pam916]

That is too funny, but I have seen it spelled like that several times.

[radioaktiv]

so
whats the plural of 'fries'?

[biggin]

What about moose?

Can we post our plural questions here? :hehe:

[xtc]

I love a good retired engrish teacher reliving her glory days. :hehe:

Go get em girl!!

[lellison]

haha. Did you know there are like 3 acceptable forms of the plural for octopus. Octopusus, Octopodes, and Octopi. I like Octopi. Octopusus just sounds awkward, even though they say it is the most commonly used.

[mrsadler]

[tsunderl]

I found this word in a Microsoft study book...

Windowful

Yes, that's the way they spelled it and it was used a number of times. Google, Wiki, Urban Dictionary... Nothing. No definition. Even Microsoft's site returns no results! roflmao

[kSpieler]

Used in what context?

[tsunderl]

I'll have to get the book to quote from it. It was in reference to MS Word.

[Haiven]

not FRYZZZ either! :)

[alta678]

I can't have any "fries" with my hamburger? :brandy:

[EAST_TX_RN]

roflmaoroflmaoroflmao

[Haiven]

Alta, you just gave me a quick mental image of a burger with little anchovies. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!

[alta678]

Little moving, flipping anchovies! :p:

[Haiven]

Anchovy fry!

[alta678]

So if I order a Big Mac I can expect an anchovy laiden burger with a single fry?!? Hmmm.........English is more complex than I realized.................:p:

[iron]

The plural form of fry is wigglers. That is what I always call them little wigglers.

[alta678]

roflmaoroflmaoroflmao:brandy:

Alta, you just gave me a quick mental image of a burger with little anchovies. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!


Ewwwwwwwwwwwww,.....is plural for ew. Ewwwwwwwww.. is Ew infinite.
Which is found in the websters as: The thought of eating anchovies with a hamburger. These english teachers sure are helpful in advancing my redneck edumacation.:confuzeld:

[Haiven]

:exactly:

by the way, "let's have a fish fry" means something completely different.

[AndrewH]

how about the plural for fish?

fish or fishes. I believe either is acceptable

Since this popped back up :D.

fish - one individual.
fish - several individuals of the same species.
fishes - several individuals of different species.



I love fr-eyes with my burger and I like anchovies, so I'd like a burger with double fr-eyes, please :hehe:

at least in my neck a the woods it does

[Haiven]

bump

[pam916]

Did someone spell fry, fries?

[Haiven]

yep. It was a reference to African fries, which made me think of plantains.

[spxsk]

I love fried plantains, smashed and then fried again are the best!

[Haiven]

I didn't like them for a long time -- kept expecting them to taste like bananas. When I got used to the fact that they don't taste like bananas I started liking them.

[OOwl]

Believe it or not, bananas are my HATE food. So if plantains don't taste like bananas, perhaps I would like them. . . .

[EAST_TX_RN]

I tried them once,spit them out. Plaintains, not fry or fries! :D

[Incaico]

fried plantains rock!:D

[yim11]

I see they serve Ting there too. I love that stuff, between that and the red stripe I left Jamaica with a hole in my stomach big enough to match the one in my head!

The one that gets me is when people say/type "shrimps".

When I hear/see that term Bubba Gump's menu starts replaying in my mind, then I start craving chocolate, then I feel the urge to run, then I realize that I'm hungry for "Shrimp" no matter how many are in the box...

It was time to drag this thread out into the open again!

[greeneyed]

Nancy, Those fries I got from you are doing great!:tease::tease:

[Flapjack]

I like the term fries!

[JMatthew]

Only if they are McDonald's

[alta678]

No, no! Kincaid's fries! I love their lovely, fat, ripply goodness! With lots of ketchup of course! Yum!

[Padronis]

Muchos Fryos

[Haiven]

So what this convoluted thread is saying is that if your fish has babies you havea tankful of fry, not fries.
