What does REGIFT mean in Scrabble?
verb
informal
To pass on a present you received to someone else, often because you do not want or need it.
The habit is old, but the word regift became popular in the United States in the early 2000s, helped by a television comedy episode about the practice. Etiquette writers say that most agree it is polite only when the item is new, suits the new recipient and does not come from the same social circle as the original giver. Done carelessly it can cause embarrassment, for example when a gift is returned to the person who first gave it.
