For us in New York:
Morning meal: either Breakfast or Brunch
Noon meal: lunch
Evening meal: dinner or supper (more often supper when I was younger; then dinner when I got older).
Soda shops were sometimes called "Luncheonettes."
...When visiting my mother's East Texas family, away from my NYC suburbs home...the afternoon meal in East Texas was dinner, the evening meal supper.
People would say " fixing " - or " fixin' "
- meaning " preparing '...I'm fixin' to come over " - but I don't know that, 50 years later, anyone says it anymore.
Another Texas-ism is " directly " - which, in fact, means ' not exactly now ' - " I'll be over directly "
! Like " Soon come " in Jamaca
