... has to be "supper". I hate everything about it. It sounds like it's a big pile of sludge that hicks in the 1800s would eat. I cringe everytime I hear it.

share In England “supper” used to be mostly used for the before bedtime snack for kids. At least, that is how it was used in Enid Blyton stories I grew up reading. Kids would have light snacks like a glass of milk and some toast before they went off to sleep. Because they had their “tea” (main meal) after school and needed a little “supper” so they would not go to bed hungry.
In modern usage I agree, supper sounds like a low effort meal where someone drops a ladle of gruel in a bowl.
I would have never guessed England would use it. It seems too redneck for me.
sharecorrect , but dont forget also theres the "Lets go have a fish supper" usage too
