A french fry means a long, thin piece of potato that is fried in oil or fat, usually served as a side or snack. In British English, it’s usually called a chip.

Common usage

  • In the U.S. and Canada, people usually say french fries.
  • In the U.K., the same food is usually called chips.
  • The singular french fry can also refer to one piece, but the plural is more common.

Simple example

You could say: “I ordered burgers and french fries for lunch”.

If you meant a slang meaning or a meme meaning, that would be different, but in normal English it just means the food.
