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.
Well, you guys on the far side of the Lakes were always a little… interesting.
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 pull up in front of their house and there is a trebuchet in the front yard, just keep on rolling…
Durn it! Ya beat me to the trebuchet reference! Its enough to make one go all balista…
d&r…
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.
Well, there is something magical about Albuquerque.
(10 points to whoever gets that.)
So did you end up at their house? Details!
Albuquerque is in New Jersey? Boy, this Googlemaps is wrong…
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.
