Portmanteau of "guilt" and gift", this uncomplimentary term refers to the sneaky underhanded practice of doing/providing something of considerable value/importance to someone without ever having been asked to do so, and then afterwards trying to pressure the recipient of your "generosity" into doing/providing something that you want (sexual favors, monetary assistance, the use/loan of a vehicle or other costly item, recommendation for a job-promotion or other "string-pulling" on his behalf, etc.) --- "Well I did ___ for you, so surely you should be willing to grant me my wee itty-bitty little request at this point."
Guidance counselor to a weak-willed client: Don't let conniving moochers guilft-trip you into burdening yourself for them --- if you didn't ask for any of the stuff that they supplied/did for you, then you are **not* obligated to "return the favor"!
