Uninvited guest for dinner.
Earlier today I was discussing Trump's use of pathetically simple English in his social media posts with one of my Chinese students.

It's that time of year when UK residents start posting pictures of sunny skies—usually accompanied by comments like "It's a beautiful morning today." This is your friendly reminder that where I live, nearly every morning is sunny and beautiful, all year round.
