French fries are the snack of choice on “Love Island USA” Season 8.

The contestants have been using “French fries” as a code word for sex during their time in Fiji, which was evident after Kenzie Annis and Corbin Mims hooked up on Sunday’s episode.
Trinity Tatum called out Annis, 24, for doing “french fries,” which she said sounded “too wet” to just be “kissing.”
In a confessional, Annis owned up to her risqué behavior.
“I was definitely getting some French fries,” she shared. “Feeling good.”
Annis also confessed, “We were probably doing a bit much, honestly, but I feel a strong connection with Corbin. We probably got a little bit carried away.”
Narrator Iain Stirling then chimed in about the strange code word.
“Hello, I am Mystic Iain, and I foresee that in approximately 30 seconds, millions of Americans will Google ‘French fries sex?’” he said.
In another scene, Annis suggested Tatum, 22, should engage in “French fries” as well.
“It was one little French fry,” Tatum said, as the camera flashed to Bryce Alakai Dettloff sitting nearby alone.
“It was good, but we didn’t really do anything,” Tatum continued. “It was just a quick little just to see.”
When Annis asked her fellow islander if she’s “been touching it,” Tatum replied. “I’ve seen it. It’s cute.”
On social media, some fans clocked the meaning of “French fries.”
“Who the f–k made up the french fries inside sex code word? And more importantly… why???” one fan wrote on X.
“just realizing what french fries means,” another fan tweeted alongside a gif of NeNe Leakes holding her sunglasses in distress.
But other viewers needed the internet’s help to decode the phrase.
“WHAAT THE HELL IS A FRENCH FRY????? these young hos are too freaked out for me,” a fan said.
Someone else tweeted, “yall what the f–k is french fries supposed to mean. i tried looking it up.”
“Chile I hadda ask the young ppl what getting French fries means lmaooo,” a different viewer wrote.
This isn’t the first time the islanders have used a code word for sex.
Last season, the cast would say “journey” to address the sexual encounters they were having on the reality show.
“We had a code name for intimacy,” Season 7 star Hannah Fields told US Weekly last June. “We would say, ‘How was your journey? What was this journey like?’’
Fields claimed Huda Mustafa started the code word when she told other islanders her “journey went all the way.”
“Love Island USA” airs every day except Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET on Peacock.
