French Fry Sex Is Going Viral Thanks To Some Freaky "Love Island" Cast Members — Here's What It Means

2 days ago 5

Leave it to a hot Love Island cast with hormones gone wild to add some new sex terms to the lexicon.

During Sunday's episode (which also unleashed the Villa boys into the Casa playground with a roster of new love interests), the Love Island audience was introduced to the term "getting French fries" and it has NOTHING to do with a wholesome McDonald's run.

Let's set the scene: Kenzie is happily back in a couple with Corbin after a brief stint with her "perfect on paper" cowboy, Caleb. In last night's episode, the two were doing some extreme canoodling in bed that could apparently be heard by their fellow castmates.

For people who don't watch Love Island, all of the couples share one bedroom. So if anyone's getting it on, they're doing so in a room with zero privacy. And of course, while being filmed. Romantic, right?

 "Kenzie & Corbin."

After a morning of **all that,** Trinity asks Kenzie if she got French fries the night before. And just as narrator Iain Stirling predicted, “in approximately 30 seconds, millions of Americans will google ‘French fries sex.’"

"I was definitely getting some French fries," Kenzie shared in her confessional. "Feeling good. We were probably doing a bit much, honestly, but I feel a strong connection with Corbin. And we probably got a little bit carried away."

According to USA Today, "French fry sex" is used as a censor-friendly term to describe sexual acts like finger stimulation and oral sex. And it makes sense in terms of Love Island lingo. Food euphemisms have been used in previous seasons to describe sex, like "avocado and tomato."

Last season, "Eat that kitty in the Hideaway" became a popular TikTok jingle for cast members who got some alone time for a night in a special suite where it's very much known for where sex goes down. That euphemism, admittedly, is a little easier to figure out.

And just as Iain predicted, many people were all over the internet trying to figure out what it meant to get "French fries:"

Here's what people were saying about it on Twitter:

"It’s interesting how these “hidden” codes from shows like Love Island USA always go viral 😁 . People love uncovering the meanings behind these terms, and it just shows how quickly pop culture spreads and becomes a talking point."

"they make code words for diff stuff in the villa, like french fries = finger, hamburger = sex, stuff like that so they can say 'who had a hamburger last night???' instead of the naughty word"
