for dinner

Not in actuality; deceptively spoken. Stated either with irony or as part of a ruse. As opposed to for breakfast. Synonym of for joke.

Pancake Master: I'm the Pancake Master.

Bubble King: Oh, for dinner?

Pancake Master: No man, for breakfast (of course)!

Sleep for dinner

An expression used (often ironically) when one goes to bed instead of making, ordering, or buying food either for financial reasons or out of laziness. This is most commonly used by college students and recent graduates who are drowning in student debt.

Matt: Bro, I'm fucking dying. I literally had two tortilla shells for brunch and haven't eaten since.
Dax: Nigga, what you talking about. Sleep for dinner?
Matt: Damn, you right. See ya tomorrow man.

Syd: Girl, my bank account's under five bucks again, and I'm starving.
Ariel: Same, girl. Looks like we're having sleep for dinner. Again...

Having Jesus over for dinner

Instead of faking a plausible excuse, a person tells an audacious lie in order to make it known that they just don't want to hang out with you, presumably in order to offend you enough that the situation won't occur again.

Jake: Hey man, you wanna go catch a flick at the old drive-thru?

Jim: Nah dude, I'm having Jesus over for dinner.

Jake: Weak!

doughnuts for dinner

Something that sounds like a good idea but thirty minutes later you’re hungry for something a little meatier.

HUNTER: I’m getting nervous that our play is a little doughnuts for dinner. I mean I don’t want this to be just sketches and novelty songs strung together.
I want there to be substance, not just fluff.
Not that there’s anything wrong with fluff,
but I wanna strive for something that makes people really pay attention.
You know what I mean?

SUSAN: Uh… I totally stopped listening.
