No, you call them steak fries because you're from a country that calls them and mostly anything like them "fries", and calling them chips I would gather, would have people confusing them with ah, "crisps" or the savoury snack you call chips over there.
Here, there's both. All 3 actually.
Crisps, for some reason, we call chips too.
When referring to the variety under discussion here, quite often we'll say "hot chips".
Here and I'd say in the UK and probably NZ, Fries are generally thinner, or of the "shoelace" variety (pommes frites, or fried potato).
Chips are the thicker variety.
We have "steakhouse chips", which are thicker still than most "chips", a bit flatter, something like between a chip and a wedge, on occasion with skin left on one side.
So yeah I'd say that it depends upon where you're from...so, saying it sucks on account of being from the England, is a little strange as you've probably been eating a similar, if not the same thing?

Ferret...nothing beats oldskool non-commercial chips though eh...
