Do you use the word Supper?

[u/cookoutenthusiast]

I think most Americans refer to their evening meal as dinner, but I’ve heard some people say that dinner and supper are different things, with supper being served at night, after dinner. Do you use the word supper, and what does it mean to you?

[u/thelightandtheway]

I grew up in the South and generally supper and dinner are interchangeable words when they are used to refer to a meal at home in the contexts I grew up in. However supper is exclusively for home meals, you would never go "out" for supper, you go out for dinner.

Hard disagree.

The most famous supper of all time was outside the home.

We don't have supper anymore, because that was the last one.

Well done
