The term is a portmanteau of breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is a long, leisurely and often unplanned breakfast with friends that eventually turns into lunch and continues through dinner. Although Blinners are uncommon in the United States, they are more widely enjoyed in less workaholic societies.
Blinner's true essence is about community building over a long and lingering meal. However, some have come to use it in a way that represents isolation, scarcity and the fast paced life in the United States where individuals are too busy or unable to afford eating three meals a day and hence are confined to a blinner.

A meal that one desires to, or is restricted to eat for one day, becoming their breakfast lunch and dinner.
Dude 1 - "I ran out of food the other day, this granola bar is all I have left."
Dude 2 - "Man, that's a shitty blinner."

A one-meal-a-day deal... Usually a slightly heavier meal in the early evening of a slightly hectic day, a blinner is a substitute for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Keeps you alive and keeps you working.
I've been so busy today, I haven't had time for breakfast or lunch... Now it's 6 in the evening... Guess I'll just make do with a blinner..."

A meal that is eaten later in the day and serves as your only meal that day.
Usually the meal eaten after fasting, or after skipping breakfast and lunch.
A blend of the words; breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I woke up late for work and missed breakfast, worked through lunch and came home to eat my one meal that day, blinner.
