Having been raised by transplanted Missourian's (SW Ozarks), I tend to amuse folks around here when I refer to dinner as "supper" (I guess I'm viewed as quaint

We did/do still use the term "lunch" for the noon day meal however 
We don't necessarily do "tea" around here, but there is a "formal"/traditional tea shop here in Old Fairhaven that I have been planning to visit in the near future.
