A yearly celebratory dinner, usually held in the evening, where one partner graciously hosts the occasion for their significant other, who serves as the principal policyholder responsible for the relationship's insurance plan.
Friend 1: Hey! Are you free Friday night? A few of us from work are going to the beach to watch fireworks.
Friend 2: Oh no, sorry! I have to take my partner to dinner for our insurance dinner.
Friend 1: Wow. Insurance dinners are a scam.
Friend 2: Yes, they are indeed. See you next time!

A codeword for homosexual men, dating back to the 80s and part of the early 90s. If a man wanted to signal to other homosexuals in a restaurant, he would specifically order a turkey dinner with mashed potatoes and turkey gravy on the side. Then afterwards said homosexual would head out to the nearest secluded area, usually a wooded enviroment.
Jim just ordered the Turkey Dinner with Mashed Potatoes and Gravy on the side, he must be looking for a hookup in the woods.

A: Dude, after 5 P.M. it's called dinner.
B: Nope, i had no lunch yet, look it up in the *real* dictionary

That girl said she wasn't hungry, but when i showed her my polish dinner she dove in and didn't come up for air until the mustard was gone.

It means that even though capitalism is corrupt, your little brother loves you, looks up to you, respects you, and appreciates your handsomeness, knowledge, wisdom, and experience with navigating this complex world.
The night that I called Denny's to find your missing pancake dinner that never showed up (or that did show up and got taken by your friend and your ex), Denny's customer service was so corrupt, they hung up the phone on me rather than trying to make it right. Sir... They said before they hung up. (Have you noticed that sir always precedes an insult these days? Alec's pronouns are sir btw and I think it's such a clever joke.)
I remember having a chonchlate chip cookie for dinner myself that night, while waiting for your pancakes to arrive. I remember trying to order the perfect chonchlate chip pancakes by phone, with 3x extra chonchlate chips because they never put enough, and when I was standing in front of the Abercrombie & Fitch, trying to order, the Denny's agent hung up the phone and made me try my best on my own, using the website. I noticed that you know a lot about restaurants and about capitalism, about what works in capitalism's factory-like processes and what doesn't work, about how to be true to yourself and ask for what you really want and push hard and advocate for something even if capitalism says that it doesn't exist or isn't possible.

Pancake dinner! CHONCHLATE CHIP PANCAKES, two eggs, poached, on wheat bread (toast), chonchlate milkshake, and a soda, Pepsi or Coke, should be no more than z16s.
