Secondary Invitation

When a friend invites you to a certain event that they were invited to, but you were not.

Hey, do you want to go to Jack's bonfire with me?

Is that a secondary invitation?

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
