Last night I went to a Tex-Mex restaurant. They had tortilla chips on the menu, which was even in English. So we ordered them. This is what we got.
A fried tortilla with fries on top.
Fries=chips in British English.
So, tortilla chips.
Word for word translation can lead to serious miscommunication.
The fries were good, so this was not a serious miscommunication, just a good laugh.
