My Grandmother would call lunch supper but Dinner was the last meal of the day.

Some folks say their two meals are lunch and dinner, others say dinner and supper. I've never seen lunch called supper though.

I did a thread many years ago on dragon fly vs mosquito hawk and it came down to where you were from.

If a dragon fly is a mosquito hawk then what is a mosquito hawk?

My Grandpa does the same thing.

Fun fact- those were originally distinguished by volume of food, not time. Dinner was the largest meal of the day and supper meaning "to sup" or supplemental, a smaller meal for the day.

Get out of vehicle- we say "gonna get down"
Put dishes away-we say "gonna save the dishes"

To mop the house- always said "gonna pass the mop"

Growing up it was breakfast in the morning, dinner around noon and supper in the evenings.
Now though I usually hear breakfast, lunch and dinner.

most definitely. Friend of mine in the Navy was stationed in San Diego and came back home saying pop, I was like what's this pop bullshite. Everybody knows the proper response when somebody says they want a coke is "what kind".
