Dinner or Supper?

[TonK]

Thats all.

 

[Metal Slugnuts]

I've never heard someone use "supper".

 

[Xian Xi]

It's supposed to be dinner. Supper ended a long time ago, Jesus knows when.

 

[Neo Ash]

I've never heard someone use "supper".

I think this is more of a southern thing.


I hate the term supper. Calling dinner, supper sounds so uneducated and redneck.


"Whatchyall fixn fer supper?"

 

[kernow]

Supper would be a gregN thing, with his hot cocoa

 

[Magician]

It depends on the time of day.

"Dinner" for a meal around five or six o'clock. "Supper" for a meal later than six.

Although, I haven't heard supper used since my grandmother took care of me.

 

[Xian Xi]

The last person to say supper to me was a woman who I lived with. She was from the UK. Interesting woman I must say. But she would give me some coffee and call it supper which was after dinner before bed. So I'm guessing supper is a snack or something.

 

[Deuce]

Dinner. Supper is for the inbred backwater families, the likes of which get documented in the Texes Chainsaw Massacre remake.

 

[kernow]

I always have dinner around 7-8pm, sometimes later.

 

[Nesagwa]

I'm really disappointed in you Deuce.

Dinner is your large meal, many courses. Main meal of the day.

Supper is a small snack right before you go to bed. Piece of bred, coffee, milk, whatever.

 

[Insaneclown]

This is the way it is with me guys...but...dinner is for lunch and supper is for supper time. That is all! Peace!

 

[aria]

The words do actually mean different things, though common usage has made that different fairly irrelevant.

 

[Rade K]

I don't do breakfast, lunch, dinner.

That's for people stuck in the last century. Like Deuce.

I have up to 15 snacks a day. They're all called 'snack-time' but you can tell which particular snack time I'm referring to based on my tone.

If you know me IRL, it takes about seven years to understand what I'm talking about when I tell you about my day.

over here it would be tea for around 4/5 and dinner 7 or later

Must be a UK/Ireland thing

F A I L

 

[Deuce]

And Spin's family, evidently.

 

[SouthtownKid]

Must be a California thing, too. Nobody I know eats dinner before 7 or 8, unless they have little kids. I don't even know how the hell most people would get home to eat dinner by 5 or 6. Teleportation?

 

[SPINMASTER X]

My father is from Jamaica and his family uses the term "supper" but the American side of my family is from Mississippi and Louisiana and we never say supper. People from the UK and British Commonwealths (like Jamaica) use it.

I think the word "term" is a little technical for a word as low-rent as "supper."

In all seriousness, though, that must have made for an interesting family dynamic. How did your parents meet?

So... then Leonardo da Vinci depicted a bunch of bleedin' rednecks when he painted The Last Supper?

He was a precog and could see the future of what would become the American southeast.

 

[SML]

Supper is for Polonius and a certain convocation of politic worms.

I don't know why this isn't getting any love. It killed me reading it.

LOL the word "supper" get's such a bad rap because of rednecks. Rednecks ain't bad people!

In actuality down here in the south white people say "supper" and black people say "dinner". Gotta love America.

How did my parents meet? My dad immigrated to America, joined the US Air Force got sent to Mississippi, met my mom, got married and a bit later I was born.

Au contraire. Both in my personal experience and demographically, they're highly unpleasant to deal with.

Depends where in the south you are. In SC, it's quite the opposite.

And how did your father feel when he found out you weren't his? (KIDDING.)
