Do you call it Supper or Dinner?

Question for everyone.

I know we all live in different parts of the country.. But what do you call your meals.

I have always called in breakfast, lunch, and supper..

I have seen MSC schedulers send out mass Emails saying Dinner shop at McDonalds.. Yes I know McDonalds is not shopped any more..

Is it called different things depending on where you are from? Like soda or pop?

My grandparents all said "supper", my parents said "dinner". This is likely why I think of it as an antiquated term but maybe there is a regional element as well?
I eat "breakfast, lunch, & dinner" BUT I tell husband "It's Suppertime".
When I worked at an Youth camp they had a schedule of activities for the week and on it had breakfast, lunch, dinner.

I gave the cooks a hard time saying don't you mean breakfast, lunch, and supper


I tell my dad all the time I don't eat dinner.. I eat lunch and supper
It's always been dinner at my house (born and raised in CA), and my mother's (born in CA) and my grandmother's (born and raised in OK). My dad was from Chicago, he called soda, "pop" I never heard anyone else call it that until I went to Chicago in person as an adult.
I've always found them both used.
It seems to mostly be called supper. What's for supper?
We definitely drink pop.

breakfast is always breakfast, but never thought much of it since it's my least favorite food.

My grandparents were all dairy farmers, so dinner was considered the main meal of the day...dinner happened around noon to 1pm....if they were hungry later on, they warmed dinner leftovers or had soup and called that supper.

For my parents it was called lunch in the middle of the day or supper later on.

For me, just dinner, because that's what it's usually called in big cities where I've lived.

I grew up with soft drink, moved to the big city where it became soda.

I sometimes call it dinner, and sometimes I call it supper. It seems when I go out to eat, I call it dinner. When I eat at home, I call it supper.

Growing up farther south and in a rural area, dinner was the noon meal and supper was the nighttime meal. Now that I'm a "city slicker," we say, "breakfast, lunch and dinner."
Normally dinner but occasionally supper.
I was born in 63. My parents in MI called it supper. I tend to use dinner for the evening meal.
