Heh, learn something new everyday. I’d never heard that before.

Huh. So what do you say instead? “Over to ___'s house” is the only formation I’ve ever heard on a regular basis. So much so that “over to Dover” was a very common turn of phrase when I was in college. (Dover is the city next to Durham)

I would have said, OMG OMG OMG! Someone just invited me over to their house. Though I doubt I would have used the OMG’s.
Edit - I see the breakdown here. The thread title reads “Someone just invited me over their house.” The word to was not included.

Yeah, maybe if someone threw me over their house but not just because they said hey, come here.

Dunno how they do things where you are, but 'round these hyar parts, standard operating procedure whenever someone invites you over to their house means you have to take off all your clothes at home first, encase your entire torso in Saran wrap, liberally perfume your genitals (male or female, doesn’t matter), put your clothes back on, and swing by KFC for a bucket of chicken and a 2-liter of Coke on the way. And you may expect your host or hostess to be greet you at the door similarly attired in Saran wrap, and you must listen to the music playing in the background for cues as to what the visit will entail, whether deep conversation about politics or just a simple meal between newfound friends.

Dude…
Did you just attack a hijacker with a flow chart?
Have you ever considered a career with the OHS or DOD? We could use you in the air protecting our planes. One good self referencing Excel formula should knock any would be terrorist for a loop.

Well, I did consider a job with the DOD but after 4 years in the Navy, I decided to go home instead and go back to college. Of course I ended up via a wrong turn in Albuquerque as a programmer and thus the flow chart.

If you were a working class/blue collar Chicagoan, you’d say “by ____'s house”, as in, “we went by my ma’s house.”
I always picture these people standing next to their mother’s house.
They used to also say “go show” instead of “go to the show (ie the movies, a film)”.

This is a Philadelphia / New Jersey construction. They don’t like to use more than one preposition in a sentence.

Isn’t that the place where the air smells like warm root beer and the towels are oh so fluffy?
Bring pie.
And sheep.
And a squid if it’s a formal affair.
