Foo Words: Parting Gift

Par-ting Gift:
noun

1. A thing given to someone willingly without payment when somebody leaves.


For ex., when Ran, and old roommate, moved out of FLR 4, she left half her wardrobe at FLR 4 as a parting gift. This bag of leftover clothing went into storage behind the couch in the living room of FLR 4.

For ex., when Edgar moved to New Jersey, he woke Brian and Erik early afternoon on a Saturday and asked for their moving assistance. But because FLR 4 is on Canal St in Chinatown, his UHaul truck was parked three blocks down the road. Multiple trips from FLR 4 to the UHaul were made. As a parting gift, Erik put Ran's discarded clothing into Edgar's UHaul truck as a parting gift.

For ex., when Erik left of LA for a month, he left Brian a parting gift. He drank his Heinekens, refilled them with water, and put them back in the refridgerator.
