PSA - How to Pronounce "Cheval-de-frise"
 
It's pronounced \shə-ˌval-də-ˈfrēz\. Or "she-VAL-de-FREEZE", if you prefer.

So "Shovel the Fries" would be inappropriate?

Well, it's acceptable as long as you pronounce it "sho-VEL". :)

Cheval means horse. It's a horse trap. Cue PETA.

And of course the plural is "chevaux de frise," pronounced she-VOH de-FREEZE.
