Since you didn't explicitly exclude non-native speakers I take the liberty to partake in the survey: A) rutabaga (mostly because I am a biologist. Else I'd name it a swede) B) wellingtons/wellies or rubber boots, depending on whether I'd talk to posh people or folks like you and me C) infant/Baby (see above) D) frying pan E) bangs F) buns G) that depends on the time of day: in the end of the afternoon (4 or 5-ish) one'd have tea. In the evening (from 6 pm on) it'd be supper H) lunch I) a snack late in the evening I guess you can tell I was taught Queen's English at School 40 years ago which, I suspect, was the point of this questionary (British English vs American English).
A. Rutabagas B. Rubber boots C. Baby D. Frying pan E. Bangs F. Rolls G. Dinner H. Lunch I. Snack For my grandparents up through the 1990s G. was supper (evening) and H. was dinner (mid-day), the mid-day meal being the biggest. That terminology has disappeared on that side of the family, with the lone exception of Thanksgiving dinner, which is still around 13:00.
Canadian English has notable differences, too. It always throws me off when a Canadian acquaintance asks if I've had "supper" rather than calling it "dinner." Kor
What is English and the meaning of each word can vary between Irish English, Australian English, Canadian English etc and even within the UK itself, there are regional differences in meanings of a word.
It might be helpful to know where each respondent is from. A. turnip B. boots C. baby D. iron skillet E. bangs F. rolls G. dinner H. lunch I. snack
Turnips. I used to like them for a few days when I was about 5. I grew out of that, fortunately. Boots. I might refer to them as rubber boots, but you never know if stuff might actually be made of plastic these days. Baby. Kid. Child. Rug rat. Brat. Human offspring that has yet to be housebroken. Frying pan. Bangs. Buns. My family calls it supper. Other people who want to be "fancy" refer to it as dinner. If eating at home: Dinner. If eating out or at school: Lunch. For people like me who are night owls, it's breakfast. Bed-time snack. Alternatively, for me it's more likely to be supper (my pizza place sometimes has some pretty good online deals between 9-midnight). Good luck with this. I've thought of doing something of this sort here, or adult literacy classes (giving, not taking, obviously!). @auntiehill: Think of turnips as this universe's version of leola root (Star Trek Voyager reference for those who don't know). They're nutritious, but taste horrible. (for those who are wondering where respondents are from, I'm Canadian)

A. Road apples B. Rain Boots (in my early years I'd called them galoshes) C. Baby D. Pan/Skillet E. (this one is asking your name for the fringe of hair at the forehead, not your opinion of Taylor Swift ) Bangs F. Buns/Rolls G. The meal people eat at the end of the afternoon/beginning of the evening? Dinner & Supper H. The meal around the middle of the day? Lunch I. A snack late in the evening? (Midnight) Snack As a side note, I live abroad so my word choices (and sometimes grammar) flexes a bit more widely than at home. Usually to aid in understanding for ESLers. When in Rome....
As a native Californian A. Rutabagas B. Rain Boots C. Baby (AKA Rug Rat or House Ape) D. Frying Pan (looks like it's cast iron in the pic) E. Bangs F. Buns G.The meal is known as Dinner in my part of the US H. the mid-day meal is called Lunch I. the snack late in the evening..Midnight snack, usually caused by "the munches"
PEDANTIC CORRECTION: As someone who teaches this for a living, it's now called ENL (English as a New Language) now, not ESL (English as a Second Language). More pragmatically: A. Vegetables B. Boots C. Baby D. Pan E. Bangs F. Rolls G. Supper H. Lunch I. Snack
As Mrs-Dimesdan has this as her degree, I thought I'd just check, this side of the Atlantic, it's still called ESL and one would assume that because @BigJake is Canadian and not American like yourself, it remains to be called ESL there too.
Well, I *did* clarify my comment as pedantic. Still, (and while I agree with the reasoning behind the change) the ever-changing terminology and philosophy is precisely why it's so difficult to make progress in these areas. Instead of focusing on content and pedagogy, the focus is far too much on nomenclature.
