"Dinna" of course

Nothing sweeter than the drawl of a blonde blue eyed southern belle IMHO. As a young man of 20 I struck out on my own to Seattle to work as a civilian employee of the Navy. I was a trainee inspecting ships built or overhauled by private contractors. I was "out there" for several months before coming home at Christmas.

On my flight home I flew through Atlanta then from Atlanta to Charlotte, NC. There was nothing sounded sweeter to my ears than when the flight attendant on that last breakfast flight asked, "would you like some jeeuwse" and batted those baby blues! I knew I was home!

You folks eat dinner or supper???

Here, there is breakfast, lunch and supper! Why would it be anything else? :laughing:

When I was a kid, we had breakfast, dinner, and supper. Lunch was just something you ate at school, and of course, my first years in school, we carried our lunch, because schools didn't provide that.

Like Bird, we've got breakfast, dinner and supper. I don't ever remember the evening meal called dinner while I was growing up , same with lunch, it was at school and we carried it in with us.

Dinner is often the noon meal locally, although I can't say I ever figured out the rules on this usage.

Growing up in a rural area we used to go to the Ho'-tel and drink on Friday night. I notice that in the city they go to "the bars".
I'm curious, in your neck of the woods do they sell "beer" by the case or is it "beers" by the case or box?

Whoooaaa....cant get there from here is definitely a Maine thang!

Some parts of Vermont too!

What is interesting is some of you Northern VT and ME hillbillies have some of the same mannerisms as the Hillbillies around here in Southern MO. and Northern AR. Maybe y'all are just long lost cousins

I doubt that anyone knows of any rules on the usage of "dinner" but I think it was generally the main, or biggest, meal of the day, and that used to be around noon, at least for farmers (and our family) in our area. Except when we carried "lunch" to school, Mother cooked a big meal at noon. Then late in the evening, (after dark at our house because Dad said you could work outside until it got dark), "supper" might be cornbread and sweet milk, or pancakes or waffles, or watermelon or fruit, even sometimes just homemade milkshake (not ice cream; we just put milk, sugar, vanilla, and ice in a large mouth gallon jar, shook it enough to thoroughly mix the ingredients, and poured into our glasses).

I think the big meal at noon was actually healthier, since we then got out and worked it off.:laughing:

Beer by the case, or usually, I just say "a case of beer". No reason to buy less than that!
