In Southern Jutland they use 'mojn', their dialect is supposedly very close to Frisian.

It is, I have witnessed a conversation between a Dane and a Frisian, each speaking their own language.
I think Frisian is actually closer to Danish than to Dutch.

I wonder how a geordie would do there.

Northern Jutes and some Scots share some language, but I don't think Geordies are understood anywhere.

They usually get shitfaced and soil themselves in public over here.

No, or at least only in so far as you currently ask for some dinner and someone brings you chicken and a side salad. I've never had that happen.

It was just an example garbon, feel free to use whatever they might bring you to eat for dinner in your foul corner of the world

Here's a good summary. That map is with reference to tea as the evening meal but those first two are meals (food + tea as a drink).

They really do me no favors by putting this picture next to the explanation:

It makes it look like they are having tea and jam for dinner.

In Japanese gohan means both rice and a meal (morning gohan, noon gohan, evening gohan).
You know the Brits and tea....

That is not the same at all!

1. Rice is something you might eat for a meal at least.

2. Not even the Brits use the word tea to describe every meal.

Might point was that I generally would ask for something specific for dinner. I don't have anyone to whom I say 'Bring me my dinner'

They really do me no favors by putting this picture next to the explanation:

That's a picture of cream tea like the caption says...so not tea as evening meal.

Here's a bit from the lovely Kate Fox in her 'Watching The English' book:

Dinner/tea: Nothing wrong with this word: it's only a working-class hallmark if you use it to refer to the midday meal, which should be called 'lunch'. Calling your evening meal 'tea' is also a working-class indicator: the higher echelons call this meal dinner or supper. But the uppers and upper-middles use the term supper much more than the middles and lower-middles, rarely describing an evening meal as ­dinner unless it's a particularly ­formal occasion — and never, ever using the term dinner party.

For the higher classes, tea is taken at around four o'clock, and consists of tea and cakes or scones (which they pronounce with a short o), and perhaps little sandwiches. The lower classes call this afternoon tea.

All of which can pose a few ­problems for foreign visitors: if you're invited to dinner, should you turn up at midday or in the evening? Does 'come for tea' mean four o'clock or seven o'clock? To be safe, you have to ask what time you're expected. The answer will help you to place your hosts on the social scale.

Then there's the colonial usage, where "high tea" refers to what garb's Wikipedia article describes as "afternoon tea" (scones, jam, cucumber sandwiches, etc served on the three layered plate holding contraption) a usually taken at a fancy location (like the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, or the Empress in Victoria, BC).

I guess the "high" part is used in the "fancy" or " classy" sense.

Mrs. CC and her friends enjoy High Tea once in a while.  Apparently the Hotel Vancouver does a good job of it 

When friends from the UK ask if we want to come for tea it usually means a late lunch - which normally goes on into the evening depending on the transition from drinking tea so something alcoholic

I took my employee out for afternoon tea at The Ritz when she got her first promotion.

My mind has gone to a odd place. I'm considering how one word can fundamentally alter a sentence.
You're shit= insult.
You're THE shit=compliment.
You're A lush= insult.
You're lush=compliment.

I guess the word "not" will really blow your mind.

One of the few times I've worn a tie in the past few years as it was required dress.
