Meals that is. I was raised in Chicago where I got my meal names.

To me the noon meal is 'dinner' and the evening meal 'supper'. Evidently
some use 'lunch' and 'dinner'. Maybe other names. Seems everyone calls the
morning meal breakfast.

Just curious.

It is regional. Where were you raised?

"Dinner" is the fourth one down.

For me, the midday meal is always lunch. For the evening meal I use dinner
and supper somewhat interchangeably, although I somewhat favor supper for
a simple meal and dinner for a more complex or formal meal. I'm from
Michigan.

Lunch has always been lunch. Growing up we had supper but I find we use
dinner more now.

for me there is breakfast, brunch, nunch, lunch, and then
dinner or supper which come later, snacks in between.

i like the hobbits which admit to having 2nd breakfast. :)
but personally i can't eat that many times. i usually eat
some kind of breakfast if i can remember to do it and
sometimes that is it until later on in the day when i will
have supper. nothing however should be eaten after that
because it is a good way to ruin your diet and put on
weight. i hate if i get too hungry at night if i start in
on snacking i may end up eating a whole 'nother meal.

similar here except i don't consider complexity of the
meal at all when using dinner/supper so those are pretty
much interchangeable.

i suspect the use of the word supper is more in line
with religious affiliation too, but that is a hypothesis
at this moment and a bit too busy to delve into it...

i prefer to use the word dinner but am not 100% consis-
tent.

Growing up, dinner was an elaborate meal that took place in the afternoon
after church, ie. Sunday Dinner.

Import Australian: breakfast, lunch, dinner. "Supper" is for people
who talk funny. Lower socio-economic Australians often call the 3rd
meal of the day "tea".

I thought dinner and then supper was a Wisconsin thing. I was raised in
the Chicago suburbs and it was always lunch and dinner.

The term dinner was only used for the large mid-afternoon meal on Sunday,
usually centered around roast beef. Otherwise, they were breakfast, lunch
and supper. I always thought the terminology was a Southern thing. In my
case, Georgia.

Oh yes second breakfast is very important. When you wake up at 4 am
and break your fast at 430 you will start getting hungry again in the
8 o'clock hour, that can usually be put off til the latter part of 9
maybe even 10 at which point you can call it a brunch. then there is
lunch at around 1 then dinner at 5-6 or if you are with the older
generations it is most often called supper. To me though supper is
more of a "supplement" meal hence the name supper. I feel that name
has been more than not been pushed out for the more formal word of
dinner from the term diner where most people take their evening means.

That however does not count the snacks taken at the 9 - 11 o'clock
hours.

More of a snack. I presume tea was a more substantial meal? Or was the
main meal of the day the midday dinner?

The evening meal became the main meal of the day when workers
could not get home at midday. That certainly was the case when
I was a child; the adults in the house worked far from home and
had a sandwich or something at midday, then a full meal in the
evening.

I've pretty much given up on it too. I don't hate it, but I don't see
the attraction.

What do you call them?

I watch a lot of Brit tv and it always goes down like this:

Police: Mrs. Lewis, we regretfully have to inform you that your husband, Mr. Lewis was set upon by a tribe of wild pygmies with blow darts on the I-45 this morning and we don't think he's going to make it. He looked like a porcupine when we found him.

Mrs. Lewis: I'll go put the kettle on.

I lived in lots of places all over the US growing up. It was always
breakfast, lunch and dinner. I've heard "supper" but no one in my
family ever used that term for the evening meal. Living in the south
for going on 40 years, I never once heard anyone call the mid-day meal
supper, either. Only on television. YMMV. :)

I've known quite a few australians and they were all nice folks.

But like any group, there are always a few complete assholes. To
wit: If you are looking for a 100% complete ****ing asshole in
australia , druce is your man. In the US, no need to look farther
than new york. Ask for Popeye.

In the midwest, there is a psychotic in da lou, but he may not fill
the role of complete asshole like the above walking sphincters.

On da rock, there is an Asian racist you might enjoy talking to,
roundeyes.
