Had to work yesterday. Really busy as the big print shops keep churning out prints 24/7. I was lethargic from Turkey and stuffing.  |

Maybe stuffing it comes natural everywhere else.

Why Lunch/Dinner or Supper/Dinner? I still call the noon meal Lunch while many of my friends call it Dinner. Guess it just depends on where you lived when you were small.

In the South, dinner is a good lunch. The evening meal is supper.

Nancy, believe it or not, we use both terms. I would say it is 50/50 around here.
Now, where I came from WNY (and the regional area of the country there), it is pop and you rascals say soda. I have made myself to say soda out here. People didn't know what the heck I was saying when I was stationed in the south.
And lunch was lunch in WNY and dinner OR supper at the end of of the day. Mostly the latter on that one.
And iced tea doesn't have sugar unless you ask for it.

One of my Northern friends was completely confused on a visit. We were out for lunch (dinner) and the cute, young waitress asked what kind of "coke" she wanted. ERrr, regular coke with sugar. Yes, but what kind of coke? I let it go on for a little while and then translated for the two of them. LOL
She asked why "coke" was a name for any kind of "pop". I said it was for the same reason that Band-Aid was the name for an adhesive plaster.

I remember one of our dispatchers telling of more than once when a customer would call in to have their Minolta, Canon or Kodak copier serviced. They assumed that since we worked on Xerox machines we could service any kind of xerox machine.

Yep, to "zerox" something means, copy it. I guess it's a compliment of sorts.
