A late breakfast/early lunch combination meal is called «brunch». Is there a parallel term for the afternoon?
What do I call «lunch» joined with «dinner»?
Note that I don’t mean a meal eaten between lunch and dinner, but a meal that serves the purpose of both lunch and dinner.

Words for meals in English are:
breakfast: first meal of the day, eaten in the morning
lunch: a meal eaten around noon
supper: a meal eaten in the evening
dinner: the biggest meal of the day. For most Americans that’s the same as supper, though some people have their big meal at lunch time and so call that dinner.
brunch: a meal too late to normally be called breakfast and too early to be lunch, and/or which takes the place of breakfast and lunch.
There is no commonly-used word for a late lunch or early dinner or supper. Dinner times vary pretty widely. A big meal eaten anywhere between about 5:00 pm and 10:00 pm would routinely be called supper or dinner and no one would consider that strange. People sometimes say «we had an early dinner» or «we eat supper late» to distinguish.

I have been hearing the term «linner» a lot around me lately (Boston, USA) to mean «lunch» joined with «dinner».
Example :
I didn’t eat breakfast until about 11.30 because I’ve started getting
up a bit later. So mid-afternoon lunch is the last time I’ll eat
before my 8.20 show, and technically counts as dinner as well. Call it
linner or dunch. It’s usually a quick sandwich.
Alternatives: luner, lunner and lupper.
Note that the word dunch has a different meaning:
A small meal between lunch and dinner in the late afternoon or early
evening (about 3-5 p.m.), usually including tea or coffee with
cookies, sometimes fruits, a salad or a light sandwich.«For tomorrow, I have already scheduled lunch and dinner with my colleagues. Let’s have a dunch together.»
I believe that none of those words are in any official dictionary though, only proposed:

The way Reverse Dictionary works is pretty simple. It simply looks through tonnes of dictionary definitions and grabs the ones that most closely match your search query. For example, if you type something like «longing for a time in the past», then the engine will return «nostalgia». The engine has indexed several million definitions so far, and at this stage it’s starting to give consistently good results (though it may return weird results sometimes). It acts a lot like a thesaurus except that it allows you to search with a definition, rather than a single word. So in a sense, this tool is a «search engine for words», or a sentence to word converter.
I made this tool after working on Related Words which is a very similar tool, except it uses a bunch of algorithms and multiple databases to find similar words to a search query. That project is closer to a thesaurus in the sense that it returns synonyms for a word (or short phrase) query, but it also returns many broadly related words that aren’t included in thesauri. So this project, Reverse Dictionary, is meant to go hand-in-hand with Related Words to act as a word-finding and brainstorming toolset. For those interested, I also developed Describing Words which helps you find adjectives and interesting descriptors for things (e.g. waves, sunsets, trees, etc.).
In case you didn’t notice, you can click on words in the search results and you’ll be presented with the definition of that word (if available). The definitions are sourced from the famous and open-source WordNet database, so a huge thanks to the many contributors for creating such an awesome free resource.
Special thanks to the contributors of the open-source code that was used in this project: Elastic Search, @HubSpot, WordNet, and @mongodb.

Our mother always lays the table. She puts cups and saucers on the table. Then she pours out tea or coffee and puts tasty buns and sweets on the big dish, bread, butter and sometimes сottage cheese. She calls us and says that breakfast is ready. We come to the kitchen and sit down at the table. The breakfast begins. My brother and I put three lumps of sugar into our cups and begin to stir our coffee with a tea-spoon. The lumps of sugar melt very quickly and the coffee becomes sweet. My brother likes to have coffee with milk but I prefer coffee without milk. If I can’t reach a bun I say «Pass me a bun, please». My mother passes me the bun saying «Here you are», and I thank her. As our mother wants us to eat well she often says, «Children, help yourselves to bread and butter or to some cottage cheese». When breakfast is over we clear cups and saucers away and wash them up.
