No, the etymology isn't boring! (Or I'm boring for finding it fascintating, I suppose.) The transition kicks in once the wealthy start having townhouses. They can no longer have their main meal (“dinner”) in the early afternoon when they'll be out and about, so the main meal often gets pushed back to later in the day. It's replaced by a smaller meal; a luncheon. “Dinner” therefore becomes something very often eaten in the evening, although “supper” remains if the evening meal is small (as its etymological link with “soup” would suggest). The size of the meal traditionally determines whether it's a lunch / dinner / tea / supper. But plenty of people link the name with the time rather than the size, which is why we increasingly often hear of that monstrous meal which blocks up the toilets on Boxing Day being referred to as a “Christmas lunch”. Yuck. And even a carvery site will write this:

All the more reason to celebrate when his case is thrown out. I imagine that your employer won't have a problem with your not coming in the following day.

Peter Cullen brought Optimus Prime to life. He attributed that pitch-perfect voice to his brother's pre-audition advice: “Don't be one of those Hollywood heroes. Be strong enough to be gentle.” It's safe to say that he got that right. I've been a life-long Decepticon but I'm surrounded by Optimus Primes purely because he was an icon, and much of that was the sound as well as the look. (I was even represented by Optimus Prime in the one occasion that we produced a family Christmas card, despite my allegiance to the other side.) (Edit: Sorry, Jazzy. I was typing whilst you were posting the same thing.)
