...or I'll hold you down and make you look at it for a really long time. Ah-rrr! I'll make you check magnetic compass deviation for the area, too! And then there's the mountain climbing thing...

Dinner and supper, used synonymously. But it was always lunch, never "dinner." Early dinners like Thanksgiving Day feasts might closely approach lunchtime, but were never considered lunches, but more as being laid on instead of lunch. These may be New England usages, as my parents hail from Massachusetts.
