Chips
We call them chips because there basically chips of a potato. Similarly what you call chips or potato chips we call crisps because you fry them to a crisp... If anything you Americans should call your "fries" chips because they are chips and your "potato chips" crisps because there fried to a crisp! +++ Also [French] Fries are usually cut thinner than British chips, so are not quite the same thing.
The suit that clean room technicians must wear while making computer chips is called a bunny suit.
Some body else's chips i say nacho chips.
These suits are called bunny suits.
I've always thought it was because the pieces of potatoe are "chipped" off the whole. We were always told to "chip the spuds" (what we call potatoes) when we were having "chips" for tea !
Raises generally have to be announced. Tossing chips into the middle without indicating a raise means you wish to call. The dealer will then return any excessive chips to you (by making change if necessary).The original bet may be made in such a fashion since there is nobody to call.
I'm not absolutely certain (I've never crossed the pond), but I think what we in the US call chips, the English call crisps, and what they call chips, we call fries.

We call them 'chips' in other countries they are known as 'fries' or 'French fries' the confusion arises in America, American 'chips' are what the British call 'crisps' a very thin slice of potato deep fried until crisp and golden.
They're called Crisps. I agree i went to France and the chips were called crips because my brother went France on school trip and he asked for crisps and they have him chips! +++ There's also a slight difference in that British potato-chips are cut thicker than French Fries, and their surfaces are not fried to crispness so the inner should be tender but still firm. The version sold by MacDonalds, in the UK at least, is very thin and crispy to hard. For some perverse reason at least one UK-based crisp manufacturer has been labelling its packets sold in the UK "Potato Chips" (in the US sense) for a few years.
