      You're showing signs of Dsil's  slackbrain condition :

I've never been able to figure out the distinctions.  In the US (no North/South demarcation and don't forget there is the entire Midwest and West to take into consideration), some people call the mid-day meal "lunch", some call it "supper".  Some call the evening meal "supper" and some call it "dinner".
I've always called the mid-day meal lunch and the evening meal dinner. I suppose if my parents had called the evening meal "supper", I would, too.  Or if they called lunch "supper"... <shrug>
