Living room not lounge
Breakfast-lunch-dinner not breakfast-dinner-tea
Pudding not dessert

How do you say it and which ones annoy you?

Terrible when posters don't put a complete sentence in

Pyjamaramadrama · 22/03/2016 19:50

Yes I think sitting room is actually correct. Lounge annoys the hell out of me.

Is any of it a regional thing?

Agree except for pudding. Only puddings are pudding. You can't call fruit/ice cream/yogurt pudding.

Lounge! I really dislike sitting room!

Breakfast lunch and tea (if cold) and dinner (if hot)

thenewaveragebear1983 · 22/03/2016 20:01

Lounge. Breakfast-lunch-tea (if its a regular weeknight tea) or dinner (if its a meal out). Pudding. Sofa.

My Canadian friend came to dinner and asked what she could bring. I said pudding. She brought pudding.

She was very confused as to why I was asking for pudding. I have to say dessert now.

Mousefinkle · 22/03/2016 20:09

Breakfast lunch tea
Lounge (for lounging around in. Sitting room also makes sense but nobody healthy lives in there!)
Sofa
Dessert

I actually forgot all about the word pudding until my mother said it one day a few weeks back and I was suddenly remiscenf of being a kid and saying "what's for pudding?" Or it'd be "what's for afters?" Alas I lost that word over the years. It's quite a jolly word isn't it. Pudding.

West Yorkshire btw Grin.

It's lounge. But I can tolerate living room.
Dinner is a hot meal: so it will vary between breakfast lunch dinner & breakfast dinner tea depending on when you eat your hot meal.
Likewise pudding/dessert. Sticky toffee pudding for example is clearly a pudding. It is usually served hot. Something like Eton mess would be dessert because it is cold.
