Break for diner or having diner...

[Fan Of Arabian Horses]

Hi!

I?m interested to learn whether there is a special expression for having a break for diner or breakfast?

Short explanation: this week I had a test employment at a company. While I had a rest for diner I visited the forum on their PC. Though, is there an expression for that special rest at High Noon?

Some people in Europe might also have 'cigarette breaks', at least until their governments introduce new anti-smoking laws similar to the ones in the US.

At our round -table discussions at my work we had breaks called coffee break though I used to say tea-break. These two expressions have penetrated into Russian language also and are called чай-брейк, кофе-брейк.

The word 'diner' always reminds me of an eighties film featuring Mickey Rourke, Sean Penn and Kevin Bacon.

'Lunch hour' is another term for the lunch break. An expression I like with 'lunch' is 'ploughman's lunch': bread, cheese and pickles. Is it time for tea yet?
