Tips

culture

Originated on Zhihu (知乎), where answering invited questions begins with 谢邀 ('thanks for inviting [me to answer]'). It leaked into general meme culture, often used mockingly to imitate the faux-humble Zhihu tone.

register

Short for 谢谢邀请. The formulaic opener 谢邀,人在X,刚下飞机 ('Thanks for the invite, I'm in X, just got off the plane') is itself a meme parodying Zhihu brag-openers.
