I hate the word supper!! No offense to anyone who uses it, my whole family uses it! It''s just one of those words I hate the sound of. I have one friend who hates the word ''scrumptious,'' one who CRINGES like crazy if anyone says ''nipple,'' and my sister can''t stand the word ''sack,'' (even if talking about a purse/grocery bag). The word supper drives me nuts, so I say dinner

Now that would be an interesting thread.... what word makes you cringe!

we hit on this very subject.. it had me in giggles last week link

At a christening I once sat next to a grown man who referred to dinner as "din dins", and he did it a few times - that makes me cringe. I am probably wrong but in my house we always had breakfast, lunch, dinner and then if we had a snack or small meal later, it was called supper - or are we just greedy!

I want to resurrect this thread, and shed light on the pop vs. soda debate
