Are any of the things Americans call "French" actually French in origin?

I remember when I first discovered that french fries are not a French thing. What about french braids, french style green beans, french manicures, and last – but certainly not least – french kissing? Are there others? I can’t think of any more at the moment.
If they’re not really ‘of France’, why do we call them “French”?
Bonus question: What do the French call these things?
