It's not. But nobody was being intolerant, like I all. I really think that you just like to be contrary, because you will harp on fucking ANYTHING.

Actually, I speak several European languages, and have studied Latin, so linguistics is an interest if mine. I am a girl from rural Iowa with lots of farmer relatives.

Gee, I forgot that it was Friday, and it's time to pile on CMGr. (Yawn.)

You called people snobs for discussing why one area would use supper and another area use dinner. Is it the word snob you don't understand? Because it doesn't mean "Someone who has a discussion about differences in language usage".

In case anyone still was wondering.

Saying someone is white is racist.

Maybe he's blue and gold, not black and white!

Okay, calm your tittays, women. I must confess. @Ohannabelle and I actually ARE snobs. We belong to a secret club that is so exclusive that we are the only two members. We have been pretending to be common folk, but our dislike of the word supper has betrayed our secret.

MY TITTAYS CANNOT BE CALMED.

Crap. The secret anti supper cabal has been exposed, and there are tits in an uproar.

I knew it would happen, one day. I went too far.

(The word supper might be from the French, or Germanic. From either soup or sup, which may not be related. There isn't enough evidence to definitively prove it, either way. I trust the Oxford ED on historical usage, above all other reference sources. Either way, US usage tends to favor dinner as a more formal, planned affair. Sunday dinner. A sit down dinner. A formal dinner. Going out to dinner. Etc.)

I hate the word cocoa. Ack. Hot chocolate doesn't bother me, but cocoa makes me stabby.

Kahlyla · February 2015

^ I like the word cocoa actually, but it doesn't come naturally to me. We've always said hot chocolate.

Goddamnit, how did I miss this thread? I am chock full of opinions about words and usage, but now I fear it is TOO LATE.

As for me, I read in a blog that the most serious paleo vegan juice-only dieters only graze throughout the day, making meal names completely moot. Oh, except for brunch, of course. At brunch, they "splurge" on egg whites. (Hipster snob, reporting for duty!)

I'd straight up die.

I mean I graze during the day too. On Reeses, on pretzels, some hummus...but when I splurge I eat like I'm a fucking death row inmate.

But the indiginous people of... uh Nantucachinapanama say cocoa. YOU NEED TO BE TOLERANT OF REGIONAL AND CULTURAL DIFFERENCES.

Liatris2010 · February 2015

That was a fun read!

OP, can I please plan your wedding. I promise to stay within your budget and plan an affair that will not embarass you or offend your family and friends. You seem nice. I want you to have a good day that reflects well on you.

climbingsingle · February 2015

I really love it when tits get in an uproar.

That's all I have to add.

Oh and fuck supper.

MairePoppy · February 2015

That was nice of you Liatris2010. knottie9057188, you definitely can properly host a wedding and stay within your budget. Sorry we got so off track with this thread.

Well thank goodness someone pointed my word intolerance to me...I would have never known that I'm supper prejudiced.

Don't even get me started on pop versus soda.

mrscomposer · February 2015

To me, cocoa is a really evocative word - warm, snowy, probably just went skating - there's a whole event when there's cocoa. Hot chocolate is simple.

And we have supper in our family. Dinner is fancy, for special events. J's family has dinner, though, so now in our house it has distilled down to "eat. Now. Food time."
