[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From upstate NY. We used the words interchangeably growing up to mean the evening meal. I don't think it was a class distinction (my parents were college professors), rather a regionalism. Upstate NY is very much like the midwest. I only use "dinner" now, but I bet if you asked my husband "supper" has slipped out a few times. [/quote] Depends on what part of Upstate NY. Lots of it is like Appalachia. One friend also said he didn't realize you didn't have to go south to go south. I guess I would say I'm from Upstate NY since I lived there the longest during my formative years and I use the words interchangeably. I also call a water fountain a bubbler and have been known to call a grocery cart a buggy or a carriage I've also been known to be knackered instead of tired. I've just lived too many places.
