Current Events > Does anybody say SUPPER anymore?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I recall my Grandma using a lot when I was a kid.

Do people still say it? Is it more prevalent in the southern USA? It is still prevalent with older people?

my grandma says it too, lol

when i think "supper," i think of some meager soup and rolls or something, i dunno. it feels like such a depression term

---

My grandma uses it.

Technically, "dinner" just means the largest meal of the day, while "supper" is the evening meal. But at this point the terms are largely interchangeable.

Supper is a really cool word. It is a shame it is dying out. Our vocabulary is shrinking. It is not so much that grandma uses "supper" as it is that the rest of us do not use words.

I hear it all the time here in Mississippi.

---

I still say it.

Instead of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My dad calls it breakfast, dinner, and supper. He insists lunch isn't real, and it's just what the break is called when you eat dinner. Idk, he's a strange man. But yeah, I use dinner/supper interchangeably for the evening meal.

it offensive and disrespectful so i stop saying it ._.

No. I refer to all my meals as num-nums.
Morning num-nums
afternoon num-nums
evening num-nums
etc

I've heard it but I've never used it.

I've always said dinner. My wife says supper though.
