I find putting things on fries disgusting. I dip.
And my favorites are garlic butter or tzatziki.
I hate to break it to you, but dipping is putting something on your fries.
Really? I totally understood “putting something on your fries” as the maniac art of directly drowning the crispy goodness in ketchup.
I understood what you were driving at, but I think for the most part when you talk about "putting" something on fries specifically, the dipping is understood.
typically the only time I see condiments applied directly to fries is at outdoor social events where the french fry vendor is too cheap to supply condiment containers
I'm trying to think of another food stuff where dipping is automatically implied.
Huh… I think that’s a problem speakers of foreign languages face more than native speakers; we would say things like “as a side to fries” or “as a sauce to fries” or even “to dip the fries” - and mean the same as you meant by saying “put on fries”
