Indian Gifer 

Based off the incredibly offensive phrase, "Indian Giver", which means someone who gives something, only to take it back.
One time a "friend" posted the funniest gif ever. **EVAR**! So I called my dog over to check it out...but instead of pure joy, my dog had a puzzled look on his face. Why is my dog not dying of laughter--something isn't right?! I looked back at the screen only to find the gif has been deleted! What sort of devilry could possess a person, no, a SCOUNDREL...to delete comedy gold, for no good reason?!? WHO COULD DO SUCH A THING?! WHOOOOOOOOo!!!!!!???

An Indian Gifer, that's who.

Indian Giver
There are two popular etymologies for this term for a person who gives a gift only to later demand its return. The first is that it is based on an unfair stereotype of Native Americans, that they don't keep their word. In the other popular explanation, the term doesn't cast aspersions on Native Americans, instead it echoes the broken promises the whites made to the Indians. Neither is accurate, although the first is closer to the truth.
Instead the term comes from different commercial practices. To the Native Americans, who had no concept of money or currency, gifts were a form of trade goods, of exchange. One didn't give a gift without expecting one of equivalent value in return. If one could not offer an equivalent return gift, the original gift would be refused or returned. To the Europeans, who with their monetary-based trade practices, this seemed low and insulting, gifts were not for trade but were to be freely given.

The noun Indian gift dates to 1765. Indian giver follows about a century later in 1865. Originally, these reflected simply the expectation of a return gift. By the 1890s, the sense had shifted to mean one who demands a gift back.

indian giver 

Someone who gives a gift and asks for it to be returned.

Based on the observation by European colonialists that native Americans would, by tradition, give a gift as a signal for something more significant in return. Interpreted negatively, leading the word "Indian" to mean false (e.g. Indian summer).
