Nerd Boomerang

A reverse nerd snipe; when the target of a nerd snipe counters with a follow up challenge that the original sniper cannot resist and they themselves become nerd sniped.

After successfully nerd sniping his colleague into packaging the software, the developer found himself nerd boomeranged when his colleague suggested the original task wasn’t worth the effort and couldn’t be done.

Boomerang gift

A gift whose value or benefit accrues as much or more to the giver as the recipient. Examples: You give your partner season tickets knowing full well that you will always go together. Or you give a woman beautiful lingerie that you will appreciate as much as she. Or you take a date to dinner at a restaurant you both enjoy.

"The next present was obviously a boomerang gift, but that's all right. I wanted it anyway."
