Ill concede on "regift". It seems I was wrong about the prior meaning. The OED traces the word back to 1837, but it was used primarily to mean giving a gift multiple times. In fact, it states that the definition of gifting of an unwanted gift is a predominately north american (although I have used it myself - no doubt through coming into contact with it through popular culture). There ARE example uses in that form that predate the Seinfeld show (you can find them by searching google books) - but they seem exclusively Indian English.
