    Rolling for loot was known as casting lots in FFXI, and is probably known as that in at least a few other games in the genre.

    If someone's telling you to lot they are telling you to hurry up and either roll or pass on something so that it drops.

    "Lot", as in "lottery". When you roll for an item, you cast a lot on that item to decide who wins it. Colloquially, many people shorten the term from "I'm going to cast a lot on this item" to "I'm lotting [on] this item".

    Fries and Chips in 'Murica are actuality different things.

    In Europe if you Order Fish and Chips you will get fries. if you want chips you need to say Crisps.

    Don't know what part of "'Murica" you live in, but here in the northeast if you order Fish and Chips you get fries the same as Europe. I have honestly never seen a place that gives you chips when you order "Fish and Chips".

    Even one of the biggest seafood chains in the Northeast (prior to filing bankruptcy) was called "Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips" and there were only fries on their menu.

    So no in 'Murica its not necessarily a different thing.
