Okay, this made me laugh so I'll share it with you.
The cool web 2.0 way of doing things is to send "e-vites", that is, electronic invititations. However, just like our collective language-making dropped the hyphen off of e-mail, e-vites are written as "evites". Now, the French verb eviter (actually there's an acute accent on the first 'e' but I can't get ascii to work) is basically where we get the word 'inevitable', meaning unavoidable. So when I get an "evite" it looks to me like someone is saying to me: "Avoid!"
Lots of laughs for someone with temperamental social phobias.

You should probably avoid anything you get an e-vite for anyway. I mean seriously, are the kind of people who send those really the kind of people you want to be seen with?
It's only lame when your friends do it. . .
