A question for a saturday afternoon

A combination of breakfast and lunch is brunch. What would be a combination of lunch and dinner/supper?

I've actually had that same conversation with myself and decided that none of them really work. So it's just lunch until it's dinner time (so for me, lunch can run from noon 'til sixish and anything after that is dinner.

A Hagar the Horrible cartoon used the expression once. Helga serves Hagar "brunch", he snarfs it down and asks "So where's Lupper?" I've used that term ever since.

My wife is a farm girl, and her family referred to the midday meal as "dinner" and the evening meal as supper.

"Sinner"?

"High Tea."

Sheesh. What good is a year in England if you don't retain (and completely abuse) the Queen's English?

I invented "Lupper" decades ago, and have used it, intermittently, ever since. (I don't know if it made it into a Shockwave script so I can verify this...)

NB: "Dinner" is the largest meal of the day, no matter when you have it. Many people have dinner at midday, and a smaller supper at night.

Might as well get this in: A small bite to eat late at night is often called a "midnight snack". But sometimes my schedule is more screwed up than that, and I have a full meal circa 3am. This is, then, a "supfest". (Not "subfAst", as I'm not actually breaking a fast with supper; more like a festival. Okay... carnival.)

For me it's always been "Linner".

My mom has always called it "Lupper" since I can remember.
