Trivia

Ever wondered what French fries are called in France?

Frites! And the French are curious about the name cause 'French fries' actually originated in Belgium :D

hehehe....So, I did some research on the origin of the term and found two answers...it seems like its just the notion that people have about the French that has lead to naming it the French kiss. People also use the term 'pardon my French' when they swear. So you get the idea.

The other possible origin is because of the inhabitants of a French region of Brittany that kissed in the 'French' way.
