This has confused me for ages, lol. When ordering fast food is it "small fry" or "small fries"?!
.. I say fries.
But I often hear people "I'll get small fry"
or something like that. Hmmm.

Answers:
Neither are correct. As previously mentioned, the correct way to say this is: "small order OF fries"
That is a good question. You should write a letter to President Obama and get his opinion. @Derek successful attempt at asking a stupid question.
Most correct would be small order OF fries. Typical US linguistic sloppiness.
I would ask for a small order of fries to avoid all that confusion.
yeah i always say ___ order of fries.
