1. It was too early call that supper.
2. It was not filling enough to carry me through
the evening and until Sunday breakfast.
3. Next time I'll eat three cans of green shavings.
Dinner/supper is that a north/south thing, a socio-economic thing, a
religious denomination thing or an age thing?
Dinner is mid-day meal, supper is evening meal. I think etymology suggests that "supper" was made from left over dinner scraps, into "soup". Where I live, I hear either that, or "lunch" being mid-day meal. It's usually older folks who still have "supper" in the evening.
On Holidays, we regularly have, say, Christmas dinner, or Thanksgiving dinner, mid-day. I'm not sure when the large meal switched to the evening, with a light meal mid-day, but it really makes more sense to have the larger meal mid-day to have energy throughout the day. Me, I just snack through the day, I don't care for any large meals.
