Hand me up

Where the young generation in a family adopts and purchases new technology product at a fast rate, and old versions (that are in working order but are not up to current standards) of that technology product are given to the parents or older generations of family.

Commonly occurs multiple times on commodity technology gadgets, leaving your parents with many gadgets to play with.

Called 'hand me up' in contrast to 'hand me down'.
Computers: having purchased a new computer to replace my 'slow' computer, I have given it to my grandpa to use. Thus the computer is a 'hand me up'.

Downriver Hand-Me-Down

A gesture of kindness between two Downriver gentlemen where a used condom is recycled by "shaking out" the ejaculate and handed to a friend or acquaintance to be recycled for a sexual encounter.
"Dude, I blew all of my cash on Bud-Light and this dope-ass Darren McCarty Wings jersey. Do you mind wringing out your snake skin after you pipe Crystal and hooking me up with the old Downriver Hand-Me-Down? Debbie won't let me bang her without a rubber after I gave her crabs."

hand me downs 

"Hand me downs" are items, usually clothing, that's passed down from one person to another. It's especially common growing up in a poor/lower middle class family, where your older brother/sister gave you their clothes when they grew out of them.
My mom said I would grow out of this shirt size in a year, so she gave me my brother's hand me downs.
