I don't believe that the verb 'regift' was extant before Seinfeld - it seems the show may well have introduced the word. The Macmillan Dictionary dates it to 1995: https://www.macmillandictionaryblog.com/regif

If they have to use 2 apps, they'll just end up communicating with me in the clear using their "default SMS" app on their phone. That's what this is going to result it...a reduction in overall message security due to pe
