FEATURE:
Not 100% serious, a fun little extension for Hobbits.
If you wanted to eat like a hobbit you would have these meals:
Breakfast - 7am.
Second breakfast - 9 am.
Elevenses - 11 am.
Lunch - 1 pm.
Afternoon tea - 3pm.
Dinner - 6 pm.
Supper - 9 pm.

Given fuzzy time is already a "silly" feature I think this is ok.
We can't use words from a trademark in KDE code though. It'll be"kandalf" all over again.
Arguably 'hobbit' existed before JRR Tolkien, and none of the other words are trademarked as far as I'm aware. We can change 'hobbitTime' to 'kobbitTime' or 'shortPeopleTime' :)
@davidedmundson, is "kobbit" good enough? I don't know the history of "kandalf" here.
What is "Elevensens" (I mean, how would a translator translate this)? Dict.cc says "Homo floresiensis" latin name for Hobbit, so perhaps we can deduce something for that, just trying to be careful here.
Elevenses is a very unoriginal term for 'food at eleven' - actually used commonly in England.
Just throwing this in: Hobbit is a tricky one - remember that most for example fantasy games etc translate to "halfling" (I feel randomly disappointed there aren't more D&D players in this crowd)
You never know until you ask; there may be more overlap than you think. ;-)
Halfling indeed seems safer than Kobbit.
I'll make the changes when I get to computer :) I personally don't have an opinion on what it gets called
Late to the party, but as those strings are connected to The Lord of the Rings books, it would be nice to add a proper context for those messages, so that translators can go and look in their copy of LOTR/Hobbit/etc
Also, according those links:
dinner and supper are only differentiated in the movies (another hint for the translators)
