in America we have […] 'french fries'
And they aren't even french, they're belgian.
Yep.
The contentious but somewhat agreed upon story of how this happened is roughly: US troops discover 'fries' in restaurants in Belgium, after WW1, but in an area of Belgium with mostly French speakers.
Americans appreciate alliteration, and don't care so much for actual accuracy, so... 'French Fries'.

This is bizarrely off-topic.

That is not how "loli" is pronounced--it's short for "Lolita", with a long "O" sound.
1: How is talking about weird quirks of English vocabulary that differ regionally and among different groups of people... off topic?
2: Many people online pronounce 'loli' with all kinds of different pronounciations of the 'o'... at least in part because there is much regional variation in the US as to how all vowels are pronounced in just all words.
Some pronounce it with the same sound as 'low', the long o. Other pronounce it as 'lawl', others pronounce it as 'lahl', the way uh... Data's sort of android adopted daughter's name is pronounced in TNG.
I have heard Brits, Aussies and Kiwis pronounce 'loli' with all kinds of vowel sound variations as well.
Pronouncing it the same as in 'lolipop' is a very common pronounciation, amongst many different regional English dialects.

I do be wondering what a British person would call a Southern style US biscuit... Which is sweet (they're usually glazed with honey), but still not like a cookie.
Not usually glazed with honey, but sometimes (and it's good too). Most are buttery flaky goodness you cover with sausage gravy or cut in half to sandwich a slice of cheddar.
The key when making them is not to crush your butter too much with your fork.

GDPR says you shouldn't get a single cookie until you click the consent button. Try this: clear all cookies for a web site that has one of these banners, refresh the page and let it finish loading, and then see how many cookies you have for it before you consent to any.
Depends on the purpose of the cookie.

I love being able to build my own site that works like a motherfucking website. This example is even simpler, but in general, unless I am actively adding products to a cart, your website shouldn’t do jack but display media. Tired of all this modern web shit that attacks you every time you open a page.

Not the EU's fault that all those websites want to invade your privacy.
The EU only demanded consent. That all those websites care more about marketing than about their users says more about those websites than it does the law.
The EU only demanded consent.

Me: I consent (to load the website using the cookie settings already in my browser).
Website: I consent.
Privacy busybodies and EU regulators: I don't.
