Tea. Lunch I call Lunch. Don't even think anyone in my family says Dinner
dinner lol
Am I the only one who says both? :S
I refer to it as both really, but I thought it was a North/South thing?
I call it tea :D
dinner is usually a cooked lunch for me
teaaa
dinner is lunch not tea soz
Depends what time really. Dinner is a late evening meal for me, while tea tends to be an early evening meal :) I tend to call it both though :/
Tea is a drink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YESSQuote:

Ahahaa I see you have failed in your attempt to prove me wrong!!Quote:

Never heard anyone call it tea before. Maybe because I live in the US could be wrong. I call it dinner. ;DD

When people call lunch, dinner, it confuses me. :(

tea is a drink. dinner is the evening meal, suppers for greedy people who want to eat between dinner and bedtime
tbh my evening meal is usually breakfast but if I'm eating at normal times then the evening meal is dinner. People who use the term tea for it are poor
LOL:DQuote:

It then devolved into tea. I don't actually think it matters much.
