Out here everyone says dinner and anyone 'weird' like me who says supper gets too much attention so I prefer dinner too lol Actually what I eat is supper ;-)
SUPPER:
1. A light evening meal when dinner is taken at midday.
2. A light meal eaten before going to bed.
DINNER:
1. the main meal of the day, eaten in the evening or at midday.
2. a formal meal in honor of some person or occasion.
Terms:
The word dinner comes from the french word diner, which means the chief meal of the day. Dinner can also mean a more sophisticated meal like a banquet. The word comes from the Latin disiunare, which means to break fast (like in the English word breakfast).
In the United Kingdom and Ireland, supper was originally a light meal eaten just before bedtime. This meaning is still retained for the case of an "after-theater supper"
Technically 'supper' is the last meal of the day while 'dinner' is the main meal of the day
