Breakfast, Dinner, Tea.

Though, I think that might be peculiar to my household. Dunno.

It's a thing that a lot of people will pose as a class thing, with their preferred meal name scheme being the lower class one. Though it does seem like claiming to have tea is a faux-posh thing, because who the fuck actually sits down for High Tea on an afternoon?

It's actually kinda' helpful for folks that give a shit about other people. Lets folks know when/how much other folks they care about have eaten, in a fairly concise and simple format.

Except the dictionary definition of "dinner" isn't "the third meal of the day", it's "the main meal of the day".

Dictionary can get stuffed up a fried chicken's cloaca. Dinner is third meal.

More practically, the functional use of that stuff varies by region in the culture I'm ensconced in. Sometimes it is third meal, sometimes it's evening meal, sometimes it's main meal. Depends on where you're at, and how it's used colloquially. I've taken to using a first/second/third thing, and advocating others to do so as well, for reasons mentioned above. It helps communicate in a way the traditional use doesn't.

Derail? I see no derail. There's a term for this, and it ain't 'derail':

Personally I use morning/extremely late morning or early afternoon/evening to define it precisely because first/second/third gives the wrong impression. At a college there are tons of people who "skip breakfast" on a regular basis, and as such defining it based on time instead of on individual order avoids all of the confusion that that would cause. (Of course then you also have to add in some form of "midnight meal" to catch all those extremely late night or extremely early morning meals.)

* IcyTea31 raises his hand.

It's not some pretentious class thing for me, it's just nice and relaxing to have a little break and chat around hot drinks and pastries after returning from school or work.

Indeed.

And discuss how best to subjugate the peasants.
