/ˈstuːpɪnˈvaɪt/verbVerified NewAlso in: Absatzladen (Deutsch) · umbralinvita (Español) · pasatile (Français)
To convert a passing neighbor into a sit-down coffee with one sentence and two chairs.
To stoopinvite is to say "the kettle's just boiled" to someone who was walking past. The invite is never refused, which is its engineering. Twenty minutes later both parties know more and owe less, and the chairs stay out on the step, baited for the next passer-by.
Etym. — stoop + invite — the conversion of passers-by into guests.
