I've been using "de-gifting" ever since that Seinfeld episode. They also used the word "re-gifting" (giving away something that has been given to you as a gift), and I find both words extremely useful.

Grant – I'd like to comment on the "Dancing in two weddings" phrase you talked about. It's a phrase widely used in Hebrew, and it means "Having your cake and eating it too", or trying to do two incompatible things at once.

Some of my fondest memories from childhood revolve around family reunions. We always played games way into the night and a favorite was "Password" from a TV game where one of a set of partners would give a one word clue and the other tried to guess what word he/she was trying to convey. Points were awarded based on how many clues had been given. The adults would usually pair up with the children until we kids figured out that, being on the same wavelink, we did better playing with each other. On one such occasion the word was "derby". The expected definition might be "hat", "sombrero" and the like or even "Kentucky." At that time there was a TV personality named Durwood Kirby. My cousin and I had the first shot at it. Without any other clues being given, I said "Kurwood". Never missing a beat, my cousin said "derby" leaving our parents wondering in amazement at their child prodigies. Now, 50 years later, never does a family gathering come and go without someone saying "Kurwood" and getting the immediate response of "derby."
