Do you think in most American casual dining places they're called "Starters" or "Appies" because most Americans would not know what the word hors d'oeuvre means?

True story:
I believe in junior year I was asleep in French class and the teacher woke me up with that word on a card shoved in my face saying, "How do you pronounce this?"
It was a word I knew well being interested in food, having traveled, yada yada yada. However, I was not being funny when I said, "Whores De Vors". The class laughed, but I was embarrassed.
