Depends on what mood I am in. :hi:

[RevolutionaryActs]

[bigwillq]

4. LOL!

That's a great word! :)

[RevolutionaryActs]

:silly: :crazy:

[bigwillq]

[RevolutionaryActs]

9. I suppose so.

I just call it food. :7

7. Growing up in Boston it was always "Suppah".

Out here in SoCal its "Dinner". No one eats Supper in CA.

[RevolutionaryActs]

11. There is someone, you

:)

[maveric]

15. My kids laugh when I use that word.

What do they know??

[RevolutionaryActs]

17. Just start laughing at them every time they say "yo" or something

;)

8. It's supper. I was raised by people who call it supper.

"Dinner" is a large noon or holiday meal, or something you "go out to."

[RevolutionaryActs]

13. I'm just waiting for someone to vote for "dupper"

:bounce:

[maveric]

19. What about "Sinner"? Supper and Dinner?

How many of us would go out for Sinner?

[RevolutionaryActs]

21. I thought about putting that

I'm not sure what I didn't. :shrug:

[PassingFair]

44. Dinner voter here.

Supper always means a small, late meal in my internal dictionary.

For example:

They had a big dinner.

They had a light supper.

18. I eat Supper at Grandma's house.

Otherwise its dinner.

[RevolutionaryActs]

22. Awww how sweet.

:)

[Radical Activist]

23. She said a lot of things differently

and she always had these funny farm phrases. I wish I could remember more of them.

[RevolutionaryActs]

24. You're slacking.

Stop it. :P

[Quixote1818]

25. Isn't supper considered a lunch time meal to some people? nt

[RevolutionaryActs]

26. I believe so, and I it can be the other way around too

dinner being a lunch time meal and supper the evening meal.

[Left Is Write]

27. No, that's dinner. Supper is always in the evening.

"A little lunch" is any small meal that isn't breakfast, dinner, or supper.

[bigwillq]

28. Just eat the damn meal already!

:P

[RevolutionaryActs]

29. Honey, I ate it a long time ago.

:P

[bigwillq]

30. Pig.

:P

Didn't even share with bigwill, huh?! :(

[RevolutionaryActs]

31. I'm sorry, I was hungry.

I could go make you a sandwich though, I am a professional.

[bigwillq]

32. YUMMY!

I love sandwiches.
:hi:

[RevolutionaryActs]

33. Would you like a salal too? Or maybe a nice latte?

I could make you one of those too. :P

[bigwillq]

34. OOH, what's a salal?

:shrug: :P

[RevolutionaryActs]

35. LOL!

It's a salad after you've had too many beers. :crazy:

[bigwillq]

36. OOH, I'll take a salad and a beer!

:bounce: :beer:

[caty]

37. Supper if it is served in the evening. Dinner if served in the afternoon.

The big meal of the day was served in the evening Mon-Sat and was called supper. The big meal of the day on Sunday was served in the afternoon and called dinner.

[kathy14-0]

38. My mother always said supper

And I have always said dinner. Something kind of grosses me out about saying supper, so I stick with dinner :)

[regnaD kciN]

39. To be pedantically obnoxious...

...it depends on when the main meal of the day is.

If it's in the evening (the norm for the U.S.), it's "dinner."

If the main meal is taken at lunchtime (more common in Europe), then the lighter evening meal is "supper."

[jobycom]

40. I don't know, but I enjoy supper and dinner at a super diner. nt.

[RevolutionaryActs]

42. *snarf*

:rofl:

[no name no slogan]

41. Country == supper. Urban == dinner

My ex-wife (a farm girl) always called it supper, as did all the other country kids I went to college with.

The suburban/urban kids typically called it dinner. At least that's my experience with it.

[donheld]

43. Other - Who the hell cares lets eat

:party:

[niallmac]

45. I don't usually go out on a limb like this

but dinner is the correct term and I'm ready to send other peoples kids off to die in support of my belief. They aren't TV suppers now are they?
I know I risk getting this thread shut down but dammit it's time for someone to speak out.
