Do you mean you would eat a large meal in the mid-afternoon to cover both? Or did you mean "dinner" (as suggested above) which is used in some regions for the mid-day meal and in others for the evening meal?

If you're looking for a word that combines the two meals [brunch = breakfast + lunch], I don't know of one. I certainly wouldn't invite friends over for "lupper"

Now I'm intrigued. Three words by pairs with inversion should give us 6 permutations:

Lupper
Linner
Sinner
Slunch
Dunch (or Dinch. Sorry.)

Dupper

I think I'll just make me a snack...

I'm on. To paraphrase: You can call me anything, but don't call me late for sinner. [6]
