Dinner or Supper?

Dinner 

I use dinner.

Dinner. I wish I lived somewhere that was cool enough to call it "Supper".

No food until fried chicken at dinner. Medication has killed the appetite.

I often call it tea (time) , a very british custom!

I usually call it Dinner but I eat it at different times and when I feel like it.

Dinner

I call it dinner here in Nebraska. When I lived in Texas, we called it supper.

We call it dinner.

Dear Jan Nicka,

I have pondered this important dinner/supper question over the years, and here is how I think it works in logging country of Washington State:

Supper is the basic meal you have every night; dinner is a more elaborate affair that happens with more food, fancier preparation.

So you call the kids to supper every night when Dad gets home from work, but prepare wonderful dishes for Sunday dinner, Easter dinner, birthday dinner! 

(And dinner may happen anywhere from 2 PM on into the late evening...but supper is always around 5 PM.)

Our big meal of the day was "dinner". So, we had breakfast lunch dinner, or breakfast dinner and supper.  Lunch was a light meal, as was supper.

("Dinner" was used 95% of the time when I was growing up---it's what I use.)

Harvard's Dialect Survey had the question, "What is the distinction between dinner and supper?" Here's the geographic distribution of their results from 10,661 American respondents:

I guess I use both.  I go out to "dinner", but I fix "supper" for my family.  I remember we always had to be home by supper time when we were kids. :)

I use take-out.

When I was a child, my parents called it supper. I now call it dinner.
