What Do You Call Your Evening Meal ?
And I don't mean midnight snack, or someone's name.

Dinner.

As dinner is always used as your biggest meal of the day. I know my grandpa used to have 'dinner' for lunch, then a light 'supper' at night.

Dinner definatly. Supper is for later at night. Although if you have a main meal in the middle of the day, do you call it dinner?

That's ok -- no one is perfect, and I still like you -- somewhat.

The little term is pronounced Pon-see. It's an adjective (describer). The noun is ponce. A ponce is someone who scrounges things. Lots of words for this in Brit slang - 4 examples being Skanker, Scrounger, Sponge or Blagger (especially armed robbery for this, although quite old now).

So a ponce ponces things off his supposed friends. Poncey is often used as a general purpose insult word, and many people forget it's original meaning.

Depends what I eat.

If my warm meal is in the middle of the day then:
Breakfast > Luncheon > Tea > Supper
or
Breakfast > Lunch > Dinner > Supper

Dinner is the big hot meal whether it's at midday or in the evening. The other one is either lunch or tea depending on its temporal placement.
