Doesn't look like a phrasal verb to me. --SimonP45 (talk) 11:10, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

- Comment. I'm not sure about this one. If I didn't already know the meaning, I might think it implies asking someone with authority over the subject, as in going over the subject's head. bd2412 T 15:49, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
- Are you saying that any MWE subject to multiple constructions should therefor be included? If not what makes this different? DCDuring TALK 16:52, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
- It uses the same sense of over as come over, be over, head over and invite over: the destination is understood, or is apparent from the context. Chuck Entz (talk) 21:09, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete, the usage examples are interchangeable for the 'idiom' and the 'non-idiom'. That's not a good sign. Renard Migrant (talk) 18:21, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
- Keep: this seems too intransparent, especially for a non-native speaker; too many senses at "ask" and "over". Unfortunately, not much in mainstream dicts; I find it in McGraw-Hill Dictionary of American Idioms and Phrasal Verbs[1], usingenglish.com[2], and vocabulary.com[3]. --Dan Polansky (talk) 14:36, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
- Delete, but update over to have a sense of "at one's own house" when applied to a visitor. There is also "come over", "have over", etc. Kiwima (talk) 19:13, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
- Keep, per my comments above. bd2412 T 16:11, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
