lunching
Having noon food
Lunching is the act of eating lunch, the midday meal.
It often implies a social dimension—meeting someone for a meal rather than simply grabbing food.
I'm lunching with clients downtown.
The word carries a slightly formal or leisurely tone; you're more likely to hear it in professional or upscale contexts than from someone scarfing a sandwich at their desk.
