Ctrl+Z for gifts. Short for preemptive return. To return a gift before it ever becomes a gift, either because you intercepted a present you strictly didn't want, or because you realized your “thoughtful” purchase is actually a crime against taste. A preemptive save that protects time, money, and relationships. Can happen in two ways: The Giver’s Panic: Returning something you planned to give once you realize they’ll hate it. The Receiver’s Veto: Making the gift-giver return it after you discover the plan (usually by snooping, being tipped off, or having eyes).
