I use it interchangeably to mean the evening meal. It's interesting to note though, that I always use each word in specific ways - I always say, "What do you want for dinner?" (never supper) and "Supper's ready!" (singsong voice like my mother used to do it).

We call it dinner. I never knew what to call a really late lunch combined with a really early dinner though. That one is tricky.

We call it dinner although my parents use supper and dinner interchangeably. When I was younger and visited my Grandma, supper was lunch and dinner was the evening meal.

We call it McDonald's or Domino's.

We call it supper. We have dinner at noon. That's how it was when I grew up. I still get confused when people invite us for dinner, I never know what time of day they mean

I grew up with dinner being the big meal of the day. It also was the 'fancier' meal... where we were more 'prim and proper'. Supper was what we had most of the time... but big multi-course meals (or the big meal after church on sundays) was always dinner. Nowadays, blending my upbringing and my husbands... we just call it dinner. Less confusing. Oh... and we could never talk about the color of urine at my current dinner table... but growing up? Sure anything was game (including the time my sister talked about the first body she had to bag... yea, nursing student).
