When I grew up, tea, dinner and supper were all interchangeable. Lunch and dinner were also interchangeable.

You could potentially have breakfast, dinner, dinner in one day.

I use it for southern softies who decided to change the word.
We hard northerners already know what it is.

Common meals

These are the most common set mealtimes in the Western-world.

• Breakfast is usually eaten within an hour or two after a person wakes up in the morning.

• Lunch or Dinner is eaten around mid-day, usually between 11 am and 2 pm. In some areas, the name will change between these two depending on the content of the meal.

• Dinner or tea is a meal eaten in the evening. In some areas, the name will change between these two depending on the content of the meal.

• Supper is a light meal eaten in the late evening or overnight before bed.

• Dessert is typically eaten after dinner. It may be considered a course within a meal or a meal itself. Cakes, pastries, fresh fruit, and ice cream are examples of common dessert food.

Other meals

• Second Breakfast is a traditional midmorning meal served in parts of central Europe.

• Elevenses, also called "Morning Tea," is a drink and light snack taken late morning after breakfast and before lunch.

• Brunch is a late-morning meal, usually larger than a breakfast and usually replacing both breakfast and lunch; it is most common on Sundays.

• High Tea is a British meal usually eaten in the early evening.

Thought I'd share, but it doesn't clear it up one bit....
