Indian giver mean?
I said it this morning, when describing how one of my kids gave her Halloween candy to the other last night - because she said she was too fat to eat it ................
and then this morning, she retracted the offer and snatched it back.
I called her an Indian giver, and then realized that I have no idea where that term originated. It's probably referring to something awful, like "jewing someone down,"
Anyone know?
