giveaway

Then there's ole' reliable: the giveaway. Everyone loves a giveaway (with the notable exceptions of key chains and nail clippers which have been rendered nearly meaningless by repetition).

In this giveaway a person who has had something special happen to him gives gifts to others around him, so that they can share in his feelings.

Frankly, I think extension of this policy to the nation through the Eisenhower administration policy of 'partnership' with private power monopoly would be the most colossal giveaway in history — 20 or 30 times as big as Teapot Dome or Tideland Oil.

Their skin was the real giveaway: again and again it turned out to be fattier and softer than average and therefore warmer.
