Breakfast
Lunch
Dinner

It grinds my gears when people call dinner "supper". Motherfricker, Jesus and his boys aren't showing up.

Supper seems to be more prevalent among country folk

Let me help you with your "country folk" comment. When raised in the proper setting, dinner is referred to as the largest, or most significant, meal of the day.

On sundays, it is most common for some families to gather for a large meal after church around noon... Which is mostly likely followed by leftovers for the evening meal.

In this case, you would have Breakfast, Sunday Dinner, and Supper.

On saturday, when you have your coco puffs in the morning, a peanut butter & jelly sandwich at noon, followed by a ribeye/asparagus/au gratin potatoes.... You have had Breakfast, Lunch, & Dinner

So why didn't Jesus call it the last dinner? Did they have an even bigger lunch? Calm down redneck. I was just starting conversation

Because it took place after the Passover Meal, which was certainly the most significant at the time.

So you thought it meant "of all time"?

My paternal grandparents did not believe in anything heavy at night. Ever. My grandfather had cornbread crumbled into a glass of milk for supper every night of his life (during the part that I knew him, anyway).

Growing up, we had breakfast, dinner and supper. Now it's breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Wait a sec... In this situation he's informed and you're ignorant... And that means he's a redneck? Hmm...

When I went to college and started being around city folk and Yankees, I had to convert to breakfast, lunch and dinner.

It took me a long time to comfortably say lunch. It sounded so prissy, like something a gay from New York would eat.

So, explain the concept of a luncheon to me then. Say I attend a luncheon where I am served 3 courses and I dine with many important people. Am I then obligated to go even bigger for "dinner" since you are, by definition, served lunch at a luncheon? Are you saying that Lunch can be dinner, or that they should start calling luncheons dinnereons instead? Or are you just living in the 18th century?

Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas dinner are both normally eaten during early afternoon if not earlier. On those days your turkey sandwiches that evening are your supper.

Yes, I'm positive boss meant there could be no other words ever used to describe a meal other than those in his definitions.
