I have read a message that states: How about lunch? What are the possible scenarios/situations that this sentence could be involved? Thanks for the responses.
I hope that I’d put it in a correct thread.

I have read a message that states: How about lunch? What are the possible scenarios/situations that this sentence could be involved? Thanks for the responses.

Hmmmm… I think you got the wrong thread Maize….   

Eh, I’m looking for some help outta there. I’ve read this sentence in a phone. Gotta hard time figuring out the scenario that happened at that time.

hmmmm…... okay.~ 

99 percent of the time, “How about lunch” means “Do you want to have lunch with me?”

However, if I say, “I rarely eat during the day,” then “How about lunch?” could mean, ““You don’t eat lunch?”

If I say, “They have a great dinner menu,” then “How about lunch?” means, “How is the lunch menu?” or “Do they serve lunch?”

Great help! I think the person who gave this sentence is giving me a hard time everyday. “How about lunch?” bothers me.

Wonder what lions say to each other when they see a gazelle.

“Want to grab a bite?”

Yeah probably. Poor gazelles ..

Do not advertise, kingdict. You’ll disappear.

you invite us lunch together?

And we do not appreciate advertising here: you have been reported, and may just find yourself “out to lunch”.

Not a problem, thanks for explaining, and sorry for jumping on you so quickly.  We have some advertisers here who constantly get in the way, and we look out for them

I find myself using new vocabulary all the time thanks to this site, despite all the crazy repartee we get involved in.  Please to join us.

Crazed repartee - all that is left once Luke has taken the floor.

Crazed?? You bet, but I am not completely crazy, just have a few pieces missing, like Mary’s little lambs, lost and she did not know where to find them.

Luke took the floor? I wondered who stole it.

...just have a few pieces missing….

The makes you a jigsaw puzzle. Look under the sofa.

Mary had a little lamb,
So her father shot the ram.
