The etymology of lunch.

lunch - modern sense of "mid-day repast" is 1829, shortened form of luncheon.

luncheon - 1580, nonechenche "light mid-day meal," from none "noon" + schench "drink," from O.E. scenc, from scencan "pour out." Altered by northern Eng. dial. lunch "hunk of bread or cheese," probably from Sp. lonja "a slice," lit. "loin." When it first appeared, luncheon meant "thick piece, hunk;" sense of "light repast between mealtimes" is 17c. Luncheonette is 1924, Amer.Eng.

dinner - c.1300, from O.Fr. disner, originally "breakfast," later "lunch," noun use of infinitive disner (see dine). Always used in Eng. for the main meal of the day; shift from midday to evening began with the fashionable classes.

I love discovering where modern words come from, but one must wonder Mr. Krass if you've been hitting the books a bit too hard lately. Give youself a break. Do something fun. Of course it might be fun to use that bit of info in the cafeteria as a pick up line for the smarter type female of your species.

In the Word Association thread, someone didn't believe that lunch and dinner were once held in the afternoon, and that supper was in the evening.

I promised I'd elaborate further, and I tried to do that a bit here. It only took me a few moments of research.

Oh, and please, please, please, please, please don't call me mister Thanks.

Cool. That was nice of you to do that. Did you know that in Russia the interpreters just look at you blankly when you say "lunch?"
They call thier lunch dinner and what we would call dinner, supper. It was odd getting used to that.

Why don't you want to be called "Mister"?

I call you "Mister" because I respect you and your fearless self-expression. It was quite refreshing to read on the "Moment of silence" thread.
But if you insist, I'll be more casual from now on.

Fearless self-expression has become a way of life, practically, and not by choice. I've been told by a lot of people, my parents included, that I would be best to retreat away to the solitude of my own devices rather than makes waves like I do - everywhere I go, but I can't just give in to the status quo that way. I'm not sure why, really, it's just a drive within me.

I'm exceedinly grateful to have your respect, honestly, and I hope that I don't seem otherwise. 'Mister' carries with it a whole slew of connotations that make me very, very uncomfortable, and it also brings to bear a number of expectations which I cannot meet. I'd rather the word didn't exist, really. Informality is wonderful. Michael is fine, and M would be even better

M? that's it?
Not , super M, the M-meister, M-O-rama, M-inator, Or perhaps M-introublenow.

Sorry, I tend to get carried away. Do not be fooled by my appearance of formality in these posts. There is nothing but pure mischief hiding under this facade I have carefully cultivated over many years. I guess that's why I respect you. You don't seem to have one.

Thanks for keepin' it real M.

Since he's a Disney fan, don't do M-O-Rama. Bad thoughts...

The irony and poignancy here is palpable. Really. But, only to me and a few others, I suspect. The rest of the world carries on.
