I never say cupboard, either. Of course, I also never say pantry. I think of a pantry as a walk-in closet for food, but I don't have one of those, and neither did my parents. In fact, I don't know anyone who does. We just keep our food in the kitchen cabinets.

Though I've had a pantry before in my old apartment, and I know some friends who've had pantries. But they're distinct from cabinets.
