Meal eaten in between lunch and dinner is called? Do you think outside the box or out of the box?

Good evening  KIB students.
Thank you for coming to class.
Please,  without further ado lets get down to brass tack.

Someone said that an On Air Personality,  disputed the fact that 'thinking outside the box' is correct. The OAP said it is 'thinking out of the box'.

King Ifey says that both of them are correct.

The ' exact same thing' may seem like tautology, but then it is used in standard English for emphasis. Just the same way 'extreme end', 'little bit' and 'plenty big enough ' are all allowed in English.

Finally,  the meal eaten in between breakfast time and lunch time is ' brunch while the meal eaten  in between lunch time and dinner is called?

Well,  if you Google it,  you would find lunner,  linner and dinch.

I guess people use these terms in various part of  the world.

To be very precise about what the meal is called in British English lets look at the word 'Teatime'

Teatime is the time in the late afternoon when tea meal is traditionally served. 3pm  to 5pm.

Tea (in reference to food, rather than the drink) has long been used as an umbrella term for several different meals.

Finally,  the meal eaten at tea time can be called,  tea,  tea meal or high tea.

Isn't learning fun? I just learnt it today.

Since you didn't have lunch,  what would you have for tea? LOL.

The class with King Ifey is done and dusted.

I'll be on the next flight to 'UMD' . Catch you there.

Toodles.
