Words that people have different meanings of

[daztrueblue91]

Are you a Yank?

Nope, born and raised in Salford.

Maybe it just links to my school days where we'd call it a school dinner and school pants rather than lunch and trousers. It's not that I don't use the words lunch and trousers, it's just that I'd always used dinner and pants as a synonym for those words.

However, after moving further south I noticed that those words have different meaning. I looked a right tit when I was I mentioned to some colleagues that I needed to buy some new work pants. They thought I was daft when I claimed that business pants were part of the uniform policy!

Lunch is what you eat at midday, dinner is in the evening. If you don't agree, then you're an ignorant fucktard.

Dinner is not defined by time but as the main meal of your day.

On here....
Loose instead of lose
Too instead of to (and vice versa)
Of instead of have
Defiantly instead of definitely
Viera instead of Vieira
Quinn instead of Tyler

And, for the OP's benefit, it's "breakfast, lunch and dinner" NOT "breakfast, dinner and tea". Tea is a hot drink favoured by chavs.

no you have breakfast - cereal or bacon barm etc
then dinner - a butty or chip muffin etc

then later tea - a meal like pasta or egg beans and chips, curry n rice etc.

Supper late on if your still hungry.

No, because you don't have Christmas dinner at lunchtime. You have it at dinner time, sometime between 4 and 6. At least, that's when civilized folk have it. You'll always get the odd weirdo who has it at midday. But they're obviously not dealing from a full deck.

What was your 12pm meal at school called? and the ladies serving it?

Dinner is 12pm-1pm , Tea is at tea time.

I don't want to piss on anyones chippy tea but dinner means breakfast. It's from latin don't you know.

In the US fanny means bum, bum means tramp and tramp means whore. They use the word c*nt as an insult but never to a man, only to a woman. In the US it's the equivalent of whore or slag.[/QUOTE
