How do you feel about “Gimme Giver”?

I’m thinking that there must be some way to use words like “renege” or “welch” which both imply breaching an agreed transfer of something.

“gift welcher”?

Heaven forbid it should be “self-regifter”!!!

Perhaps “boomeranger.”

Oops, I didn’t realize that welch was a variant of Welsh.

I retract that suggestion: Mia culpa!

Actually, I like my “boomeranger” idea better anyway. It rolls off the tongue well and I have never heard the term used for someone that throws a boomerang. Thus, I find it grabs the ear as something unusual which gives the context a chance to supply the intended meaning.

OH! In that case, I meta-retract.

(Although I still like “boomeranger” better )

Although use of “the Man” to mean, as the Historical Dictionary of American Slang puts it, “white people collectively regarded as oppressors of blacks” seems to have started with Black Americans, it didn’t appear until the 1950s. So there’s no historical connection to slavery or the slave-owning era, although Black radical politics of the 1960s—a period when “the Man” was used in seriousness and without much irony—it was no doubt understood that slavery was included in the inventory of oppression of the white overclass.
