I'm the only supper sayer? I grew up with dinner meaning lunch, so a dinner invitation bred confusion. No one is confused by supper! </p> <p>It's interesting that it apparently has the connotations of both stuffy and country, PPs! I would have thought those at odds with one another. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinner-or-supper#post-871094 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:34:41 +0000 mediagirl 871094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MungBean: I was going to ask the same thing after seeing @naturallycathy's post!!</p> <p>I say dinner.</p> <p>My Grandmother used to call it Supper.

So if you have a giant midday meal (like you might do on a holiday) then that meal is referred to as supper, whether it's at 12pm or 5pm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinner-or-supper#post-870954 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:16:45 +0000 Alivoo01 870954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinner-or-supper#post-870941 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:14:45 +0000 MamaMoose 870941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always said dinner, but I've heard both terms to and to me they both refer to the evening meal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinner-or-supper#post-870936 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:13:25 +0000 Amelieisme 870936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm from the South so my fam always says supper.

It's probably both generational and regional. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dinner-or-supper#post-870923 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:11:21 +0000 Ash 870923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say dinner but DH calls lunch dinner and dinner supper.
