The Born Loser by Art & Chip Sansom Gladys: We're going to eat at four o'clock, does that make it dinner or supper? Gladys: Is being called dinner or supper determined by the time of day the meal is served? Brutus: No. Nothing determines when to use either word - they are interchangeable. Gladys: I thought in certain locales, one of the words referred to a meal served earlier in the day and the other word to a meal served later in the day. Brutus: I don't think so. Besides, no one could possibly eat both dinner and supper! Gladys: Oh, is that so? I think I know of someone! Brutus: Okay, well, maybe once or twice, when I was really hungry!
As I understand it, supper is the last meal of the day, and dinner is the largest, whether it’s eaten at lunchtime or suppertime.
