Hmmm. Colons join, and separate, but the word "colons", doesn't mean either of those things. Right?

What about "arange"? Naw, guess not. This one is haaaard!

Yep. I was going to guess 'splice'.

Um, please ignore this post. Had to drop an "r", and it still was wrong. 

As they used to say in the Brit comedy series "Brilliant"..."I'll get me coat".

Trivia*; In the UK the 'Best before' date on packets of crisps** is always a Saturday***

** crisps = potato chips in US

*** I wonder if its the same in US/Oz/Canuk

* Trivia. from Roman Latin, Tri Via, three-roads, or a cross roads, where people use to meet on market days to get the local gossip

Paring could work.  To join together, at least into pairs, or separate (edges, or apple from its skin).  Paired possibly, but would have to check spelling for the latter action (is an apple pared or paired, must google).

just a passing thought.....

Sliced or julienne potatoes are called 'chips' in Australia. This includes the hot "fries" version and also the eaten-cold-packet version of "crisps".

Then again, because we have so much influence from UK and US television and ex-pats, any of these are fine to use in 'almost' any establishment Downunder. 

Kindest regards
