Supper vs Dinner

I have no problem with using "dinner" but by habit, I say "supper". And almost every time I say it, someone makes a comment. Most often making a reference to where I grew up - Nebraska. So, to answer that directly, yes, I grew up in Nebraska and, yes, I say supper.
Sometimes in life, you have great comebacks (then, not after thinking about it later which is the worst). And this is my standard response: Yes I say supper and no one goes to Milan to see Da Vinci's Last Dinner. They go to see the Last Supper. Boom! Gotcha!
