Love Island USA fans are searching for answers after a new piece of villa slang took over Season 8: “French fries.” The phrase emerged following a late-night moment between Kenzie Annis and Corbin Mims.
How did ‘French fries’ start on ‘Love Island USA’?
The phrase surfaced during a morning conversation in the dressing room, when fellow islander Trinity Tatum said she heard someone “performing french fries” the night before, adding that it sounded “too wet” to just be a kiss, per USA Today. Kenzie later confirmed the moment was about her and Corbin in a confessional, saying, “I was definitely getting some french fries. Feeling good. We were probably doing a bit much honestly but I feel a strong connection with Corbin. We probably got a little bit carried away.”
What does ‘French fries’ actually mean?
Neither islander explicitly defined the term on camera, but per Vulture, context clues from the episode point to a sexual act involving fingers. The use of coded language for intimate moments is a recurring pattern on the franchise; past seasons have featured euphemisms like “journey,” which one Season 7 islander told Us Weekly was used to discuss intimacy without describing it explicitly on camera.
The phrase has since taken off across social media, with narrator Iain Stirling joking on the show that viewers would soon be searching “French fries sex,” a prediction that quickly came true.
