I could agree with you regarding "chips" but then we'd both be wrong. ;-)

Other way round. Chips, meaning fried potato pieces as opposed to fried 
potato slices, were being made in the UK and Europe a long time before 
being named "French Fries" by Americans. "French Fries" are now made 
from reconsituted potato pulp extruded into shape as opposed to pieces 
of freshly cut potato. Although you do get US "French Fries" in the UK. 
UK chips are normally quite unlike "French Fries" served in US fast food 
style establishments. Typically on UK menus it will say "Fries" or 
"French Fries" if you are not getting chips.

For the record, the best chips I've had come from The Netherlands, 
Belgium and Yorkishire, England in that order.
