Pop or Soda, Supper or Dinner it's all a regional thing.

Kinda like when I would say "time for SUPPER" instead of "time for DINNER" I say supper now to my kids sometimes when my midwesterness takes over, and my kids just say "HUH"?????
I grew up calling the evening meal dinner and lunch was lunch. In Iowa dinner is lunch time and supper is the evening meal.
I moved to Iowa and learned to call it supper real fast. Picture it: The first week I'm here I make a new friend and am invited to dinner. After lunch time the next day I get a phone call asking what happen, how come I didn't show up for dinner. Oh, boy!
