When did dinner become lunch?

Question

Back in the day you had dinner in the afternoon, and supper in the evening.

Now you have dinner in the evening, and who even invited this lunch guy?

When did this change happen? Is there a reason for it?

Answer 1

Terms are colloquial depending on the regional culture of where and when you grew up, and what was common within your family. The main meals in my family were always breakfast, lunch, and dinner. However, I’ve known plenty of people that refer to the midday meal as dinner, and the evening meal as supper. There’s no one correct label; all are valid.
