For once I agree with you. Hoover and hoovering have more or less died a d***h, as very few vacuum cleaners are actually Hoovers any more.

#2 Fries and chips are a bit different. Chips are thicker and are fluffier inside. When we go to fast food restaurants we don't generally ask for chips.

#11 is incorrect. In the US, we call these pushpins. Thumbtacks have a flat disc top.
