+429 It's either dinner or supper, and when someone says the opposite of what you say it's just weird, amirite?

What's even weirder is that back in the day, 'dinner' used to mean 'lunch'.

Rural towns still refer to Sunday lunch as "dinner." My grandparents do it.

din·ner    –noun 1. the main meal of the day, eaten in the evening or at midday. It appears to still be in the definition. A lot of people around me call lunch Dinner.

Also, it's much healthier to eat a large breakfast, make lunch the main meal of the day at around midday, and only have a small meal for dinner/evening meal - because your body burns heaps kilojoules when you're awake and moving around, but not a lot after dinner and when you're sleeping.

When I lived with my grandparents, we used to call the evening meal "tea", which was apparently what it was calling in Australia back when the world was still in black and white, and dinosaurs roamed the earth.

The morning meal is Breakfast, mid day meal is Lunch Last meal of the day is Supper. Dinner is the biggest meal of the day, so that can either be midday or the last meal.

It used to be breakfast, dinner (at lunchtime), and supper. But I've heard both for the last meal of the day.
