I mean really shouldn't they be called Lunch ladies?
You break your fast in the morning, you have lunch midday and your dinner in the evening.
It's not my fault people don't respect words
Words that grind my gears!

Every notice how Americans have this habit of describing objects using brand names? This Tweet from Hulk Hogan about how he punctured an car airbag as a prime example:
The "until it's not" / "until it doesn't" line.

Apple Vision Pro review: magic, until it’s not
The Apple Vision Pro is supposed to be the start of a new spatial computing revolution. After several days of testing, it’s clear that it’s the best headset ever made — which is the problem.

NATO will live forever, until it doesn’t
The return of a major land war in Europe was the perfect opportunity to finally hand off security to the region. Biden squandered it.

A few of the pundits do it don't they, but him the most. Do you think it was like a public speaking course/coaching session on how to grasp attention and command respect taken too literally back from the early naughties?
I can picture him starting a speech at a funeral or wedding in the same way looking aggressively into the audience... "LISTEN..."
its breakfast, dinner and tea. . Fight me!Effect and Affect because I'm always using the stupid words incorrectly
People who say 'tea' when they mean dinner. My partner does it all the time which I suspect is probably out of spite at this point.

"Gaslighting"
That was used in a meeting a year or so back, and i cheekily asked them to explain what they meant, as i find it annoying. Red faces all around as the user failed to explain beyond "it's feelings and that, innit?" (my paraphrase)

When someone is giving an anecdote which involves a describing a conversation and they say "And he/she turned round and said..."
Why did they turn around? If they were already involved in a conversation, why would they be facing the wrong way anyway?

In another life, when I was a Warehouse and Distribution manager, my director, of which there was a mutual dislike, once said that to me in a meeting to which I replied, yes, but there is a me.
Oh dear, he was not amused!
It's become totally overused, but it does have a meaning. It's origin is from this film here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslight_(1944_film)#Denominalization_of_the_play's_title
And the answer to the dinner/tea thing depends on when you eat your largest meal. That's dinner. You either have lunch and dinner or dinner and tea. Unless you're a fat **** who eats more than one dinner. I prefer to eat lunch and dinner, but sometimes eat lunch and tea. I wouldn't call it tea if I ate it post 7pm. There's also no such thing as "dinner time" other than a synonym for "lunch time" (also why dinner lady is a perfectly acceptable term). It's "supper time" if you have to describe an evening meal in such a way. Though I don't know why you would.
"daily basis" gets my goat. What's so wrong with daily that it needs to be based on anything other than once per day? Or weekly, yearly, biannually etc.

Dinner is whichever your main meal of the day is. So can be either, and varies for different people at different times.

On accident.
As if you did it on purpose instead of it happening by accident. Idiots.
