Fry is an verb, not a noun.

Don’t school the school master...

Well, that's a decent try, for someone from Texas.

But fry is also a noun, and schoolmaster is one word.

To be fair, of course, crisp has also been made into a verb. But then my statement did not assert exclusivity.

Don't edit the professional copy editor. ;)

Seeing as you’re a copy editor get people to start spelling words like colour and neighbour correctly and to stop using so many Zs. It’s realise and organise!! What’s with all the zeds (not zees)? I bet scrabble is a lot easier in the US :D

Sigh... I may live in Texas but I certainly didn’t learn English here.

Fry is indeed a noun, a baby fish, nothing to do with potatoes.

And as for “school master” if you don’t understand that grammar then I can’t help you :p
 
Words that are food items, but also verbs and/or adjectives:

Fry, crisp, chip, slice, wedge, chop, filet, roast, spear, dollop, spread, finger...

I'm sure there are more.
 
you'll love them or hate them. theres no in between.

And if you hate them, well....you will be judged.
 
nice haul but....

where are the Twiglets?
 
Why do all the cookies names sound like over-the-counter medications?!
First of all they’re biscuits not cookies :LOL: :laugh:

Now for the boring history lesson:
When they were first made (in the late 19th / early 20th century) they were sold as an aid to constipation and the name stuck :ROFL: :ROFLMAO:

Lots of things back then started out as being for medical use. Ketchup was a medicine. Heroin was a trademark name for whooping cough medicine. Just don’t look up what Kellog invented cornflakes for...
 
Drunk History anyone?
