Ironically you just made it more confusing. Americans know that fries are chips and chips are crisps in England. Just call them what they're called there; most people will know what you're talking about.

Yeah its like converting to centigrade for us.

Not that confusing since they used the word fries which only applies to one item across both the US and UK variants. It's arguably more confusing to use chips since then you don't know if they're using the UK or US word.

Look, all I'm saying is that America has fish and chips too. They don't call it "fish and fries". No need to dumb things down.
