What do you call the last meal of the day? I Was raised to say Supper, But it seems Dinner is the more used of the two.

Supper= Dinner
Worsher= Washer
Worsh Clothes= Wash Clothes
Quickie= corndog
Pop= Coke...any beverage like that.

My mom calls it Supper but I always say dinner because that's what most people around here say, My mom also instead of saying couch or sofa she calls it a davenport. She's the only one I know who refers to a couch as a davenport.

In my family we always say supper. I think it is a midwestern term and dinner is used more in the East. ?:confused:

Sups or Din Din. Din Din was to help my brother (younger & older!) tell it apart from causing a din (because we never said racket).

And sups just developed from my elder brother's two year fascination with rap music.

Yea, we'd always say dinner in Illinois too. We still call it dinner here, and I think most people do too.

I still spell it Labour, and I still say lorries.

I know in the UK, they say something else for the trunk of the car, but we'd always call it a dickey. No sexual connotation implied.

I always say dinner, as do most people I know. But my grandma always says supper. I just figured it was because she grew up on a farm.

That's weird. I hear a lot of people from the East Coast give a couch or sofa another name altogether. They call it a chesterfield. :crazy:

By the way we call our last meal Supper! :)
