ndian giver is a North American English expression used to describe a person
who gives a gift (literal or figurative) and later wants it back, or someth
ing equivalent in return.
The term "Indian gift" was first noted in 1765 by Thomas Hutchinson,[1] and
"Indian giver" was first cited in John Russell Bartlett's Dictionary of Amer
icanisms (1860)[2] as "Indian giver. When an Indian gives any thing, he expe
cts to receive an equivalent, or to have his gift returned."
The phrase can be offensive[3]
