What do you mean?

[Sigmund]

Good morning!

Would you like a soda water, soda, pop or Coke with your burger?

Do you stand on line or in line?

I freaked out a student the other day. She asked me the time and I answered, "A quarter to." (15 minutes to the hour.)

Do you have stuffing or dressing with your turkey?

I like the idea of saying, "I have to stop and get a bag of milk."

Hasta luego. See y'all later!

I'd like a soda while I stand in line.
The movie starts at quarter of, or quarter after.
I bought some stuffing with me, and just milk.

Our British folk would say in queue, but my spelling is probably wrong.....

It's funny, I've lived in PA all my life and have always called the noon meal "lunch" and the after-work meal "dinner". I've heard a few people call dinner "supper" (as Doc stated above) but never as a different meal.

I lived in western PA in the 60's and 70's. Where you be?

Exactly.

Once at Disney World a Brit asked me if I was "in queue".
I was like "Pardon?"
I had no clue what she was even talking about.

I grew up in Philly, but moved to the Pocono mountains area in 2000

You Phillians just plain talk funny. It must be a regional thing then with what to call lunch then. Weird, eh?

I'll admit, we have our own special accent! My husband still has a strong accent, mine only comes out when I'm pissed off

I want to be able to say, "Ayuh" and be understood.

 

[Sigmund]

Hey, sir!

Green beer?

Hey, sir!

Green beer?

I'm seeing green after all that!

Are you having corned beef and cabbage tonight, Siggy?

In a queue. We like queuing

 

[champ1966]

'In a queue' or 'in the queue', never 'in queue'

Weirdos . This is the order of eating :- 7am Breakfast, 12am Dinner, 5pm Tea, 9pm Supper. Now put wud in't ole on vi way art

Spoiler

Shut the door on your way out

Can confirm. That's the British/Northern English (i.e. north of Watford Gap) way, though in the Wet Mudlands...sorry, West Midlands...the midday meal is lunch/dinner (lunch if you're being 'posh' or just mean a light snack rather than the day's largest meal) and the evening meal (eaten generally around 5-6pm, traditionally, though it's slipping) is tea/dinner (dinner if you're being 'posh' ). Supper does happen, but it generally doesn't get called supper. Supper's one of those words like 'Elevenses'. We know they exist, but use them and you get suspicious looks.
Speaking of which, my stomach feels like my throat's been cut. Tea-time!

What about barbecuing? Or do you British lads spell it, barbequeueing?

Trust me I have supper, it usually compromises of cereal and milk. I weigh 12 stone dripping wet, but I've got the metabolism of the proverbial gannet

If we're queuing ( as if we wouldn't queue) at a barbecue.

I believe 'Dinner' is from old latin containing the two root words 'din' and 'ner'. "Din" means 'dine' and "ner" is a greek root acronym meaning 'noon evening repast'. Yes, I believe that.
