At least you know where you stand with supper, right?!

Yeah, and with breakfast, cause that's always in the morning ... like a nice afternoon wedding breakfast.

Well, that depends. In Scotland, "supper" generally means "with chips".

I remember the lunches I used to have back in primary school up in Scotland; instead of having a school dinner, you used to go down to the chip shop, and their 'lunch' was a bag of chips, and you got a free potato fritter. So it was essentially a bag of chips, with a really big chip.
