I don’t remember agreeing to any rules, so I think I’ll continue to call it chili.

Dearfolk,
Unless you’re in New Mexico, where it is called CHILE — by state law, I think it is.
Or Southern Illinois, where it is known as CHILLI. (But wait: CHILLIcothe is in CHILLInois, but the bigger one is in five-way-ful Ohio!)
Of course, if you really want to be original, make up a batch, serve it cold, and call it CHILLY. Brrr!
I’d make mine with garbanzo beans if I felt like it, or maybe even green beans (YES!), and I’d have the audacity to call it CHILLEY. Hey, somebody’s gotta do it, and it might as well be me….
