I had never put the words "fish" and "nuggets" together before, until now. Fish nuggets. Why did everybody... erm... stick with "sticks"? Fish nuggets sounds catchier. (kbin.social)

It was my daughter who said it, in passing. My wife didn't catch it but I managed to... erm... fish it out, so to speak.
Anyway... they all stuck with "sticks". They seem like old-fashioned people over at the frozen fish sticks industry, very orthodox.

In the US? I think they'd be called chicken strips in the UK. Very confusing.

We should just stick with ' cuboid' imo - although to roll off the tounge I can only thing of 'cat cuboid' and 'carp cuboid'.

In the U.S. chicken fingers and strips are fairly interchangeable. Fingers might tend to be more rounded like fish sticks though
