My mother continues to call it "supper". But I say it's Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner!
Is it an older generation thing? Or does it depend on where you live?

It's not just a Southern thing. We used to have Supper in Wisconsin. Basically, if it is at home, simple, informal, easy to make, and quick to eat, it is Supper. Formal, elaborate, at a restaurant, longer to eat is Dinner.

I say Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Sometimes Supper in place of dinner. My husband says dinner in place of lunch.

I think supper is more of a southern term....dinner down here could be lunch or supper...just depends on the context of the conversation...

it's actually an old english thing. Lunch is a relatively new concept. it used to be: Breakfast, Dinner, and Supper

I always figured supper was a meal but dinner was a dining experience. Nobody ever goes out to "supper".

I've always called it dinner and I think dinner sounds better than supper.

Dinner. Might be a generational thing. Not sure. My mom calls hot dogs "franks" I just reminds me of The Huns, The Saxons, The Anglos, The Franks. It just sounds like some tribe or something. Maybe I'm just crazy.

No, supper is a formal way to say it. It just sounds more professional, like saying Sir instead of Mr.
