I like to say "Luncheon", myself. Though, if I go all out for it, isn't it then called "dinner", then "dinner" becomes "supper"? or is it the other way around? and what exactly constitutes "tea" as a meal? Ah, humbug. Does it really matter?

We could use nooner but that is taken LOL.

Well, in the Nancy Drew books, being rather high-class and properly brought up, she always alights from her roadster to have luncheon with her chums.

Stop being so picky. Lunch is fine. I love lunch, and I love going out for lunch. I can't ever miss lunch, and if I do then I'll eat a very late lunch. Mmmm, lunch!

It would be more respected with a really proper name, but I think that would take away from the charms of lunch. I don't have to make reservations for lunch and I can eat whatever the heck I want. But then again, if it was really important then maybe it'd be socially acceptable in the US to get like a two hour lunch break. How cool would that be?!

I am from the North of England. In my dialect the words for our three main meals of the day are breakfast, dinner, and tea (dinner being lunch, tea being dinner). We do use the word lunch, but it's used in the main for a special occasion, say if you were meeting your your girlfriends at 1pm on a Saturday afternoon you'd say "we're meeting for lunch". You could adopt the northern English way of saying things, and then maybe the word wouldn't seem so dull.
