How are people not more embarrassed when they post shit like this? Seriously, if I knew someone who did this in real life I'd be so embarrassed for them. Do people just have no shame or decency anymore?
The same rule applies as applied at pre school. If you don't have enough to share with everybody, you don't have it. Basic life etiquette.
You don't offer something to one group of guests, and have another group of guests wondering why they didn't make the cut.
Slightly off-topic:
I find the word "supper" peculiar. I wonder if the use of dinner vs. supper is a regional thing.
My grandmother from Missouri (Missuruh) always said supper instead of dinner. She also said "warsh" for wash and "Tuesdee and Thursdee".
Not sure if it's a regional thing. My grandma (also from Missouri) always said supper when it was informal, and dinner when it was an occasion, like Christmas dinner or having people over for Sunday dinner.

So funny, I was thinking the same thing.
I've usually only seen "supper" used by southerners, while to me and everyone I've known in Michigan except my grandma who grew up in Oklahoma, it's always "dinner." But I don't like the word at all. It sounds weird to me.

All of that-I'm from michigan also and and the word supper sounds strange to me.
Supper - from the anglo-saxon word for evening meal.
Dinner - from the French word for evening meal.
Supper is usually used in rural areas. It is traditional served earlier in the evening, because those farmers have worked hard all day, and they are HUNGRY! Think of Snoopy, the dog, dancing in appreciation of "Supper Time!"
Dinner is usually served a bit later, and can be a bit more formal.

Either word serves the purpose. Don't be snobs.
Really?
This.
But also, what exactly is snobby about finding a word, that isn't used in your area, peculiar? Nobody said "I am too high class to use the word 'supper'!"

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.)

Only when you're acting like a snob. IME, that hasn't been limited to Fridays.

Weirdly, it coincides with "CMGr says dumb shit day."
So, how is encouraging people to be tolerant of regional and cultural differences being a snob? Did you even read my post?
Did you even read ours?? Nobody said anything about being intolerant of regional or cultural differences. WE SAID WE DON'T LIKE THE WAY A FUCKING WORD SOUNDS. Here are some other words I don't like the sounds of: moist, phlegm, uvula. God I'm such a snob!
And you're not even fucking RIGHT. Yet again, just because the farmers you know in Iowa call it supper, doesn't mean all farmers say it! I know farmers in Michigan! They call it dinner! No matter what time they eat, how hungry they are, or how much they like Snoopy!

Is it fucking opposite day as well as a Friday? Because YOU, as a person who has repeatedly copped to being a snob, CALLED SOMEONE ELSE A SNOB? Did I do acid today?
Have fun getting out from under the pile you created by talking out of your ass, again.

But no one was being a snob about the word. Did you read any of the posts? People were just discussing that the word sounds strange to them because they don't use it and then were discussing where the word may be used. I am not sure how that correlates to them being snobs.
Now if someone said "only hillbillies and white trash use the word supper" then that would be someone being a snob.

My mother uses dinner and supper. Those meals are served at 11:30 a.m. and 5 p.m, on the dot, every day.
I say lunch and dinner.
We both grew up in Mass. I thought this was more age related than regional. I think supper is an ugly word so I don't use it.
