Conditional Invitation

When someone is invited to a social event on the condition that they don't come. Usually done to make sure someone knows that you don't want them there, rather then that you simply forgot to invite them.

'You can come out djanning with us on one condition, you don't come.'

trick invite

An invitation to an event that ends up being a hoax. The most common trick invite involves a new foreign kid being summoned to meet up after school only to find himself all alone.

Duder 1: "Yo Italian dude! Soccer today?"

Italian Kid: "Oh yes-a, of-a course! I be there!"

Duder 2: "Ha ha you're such a dick dude. That was a trick invite wasn't it?"

Duder 1: "Fuck yea. He's been falling for it for the past 4 weeks!"

Good invite

sailor's invitation

“Sailor’s invitation” The sailors come on to shore to a new port and have a good time with the locals. As they’re boat starts leaving the dock the next day, they yell to the locals “join us! Come!”… they do not actually intend on anyone to act upon the invitation. They were just being polite. A sailor’s invitation is a false invitation, it’s a polite way of saying goodbye and also hope or expect that the receiver doesn’t act upon.

They told me to come but it was a sailor's invitation.

Sailor’s invitation: Messi and the Argentinians attend Salt Bae’s Restaurant… they have such a good time, they tell Salt Bae to join them at the World Cup. Salt Bae did not realize it was a sailor’s invitation … sailor’s invitation

illegitimate invitation

Issuing an invitation which the other person can't accept, in the hope that you get credit for asking but don't have to follow through.

J. "Wanna go to dinner?"
N. "You know I gotta babysit my sister's 4 kids! That's an illegitimate invitation!"
