Chip and PIN technology is known as crisp and PIN in the UK
@misty right, chip refers to when you go too hard on overvolting a CPU
@Catfish_Man @misty I prefer thumbtacks myself *sticks credit card to wall*
@jrose hoisted by my own oblique joke petard here: what’s the dialect thing going on in this one?
@Catfish_Man Not a real dialect, just the absolute most basic joke on “pin”
@misty no it's chip and pin here but in the US it's fry and pin
@misty Chup & Pun in NZ. You can only pay if you insert the plastic and tell a really bad joke.
@misty this implies the US actually has chip and pin and you didn’t just jump from signing receipts to Apple Pay
@felface I'm Canadian. We use chip and pin in Canada. The US isn't the only country that calls them "chips”.
@misty oh sorry I’ll sit over here with my crisps and pin. It would be a nightmare if you try and buy fish and chips with chip and pin
@misty Chip and PIN is known as PIN with Fries in the US
@fraggle @misty
I wish I could come up with a suitable "phishing and chips" joke
