The word 'dîner' in Quebec refers to the midday meal (lunch), but the proverb is still understood in its universal sense. Like in Quebec, 'dîner' is lunch. This can lead to minor confusion for French people from France, but the proverb remains a fixed idiom. The proverb is often used to emphasize resilience and the ability to endure hardship with dignity.
