    I still hear people using that term, but as “Welch on”. I guess it’s their evolution of “Indian giver”. 😬 Not joking, unfortunately.

      Do you mean Indigenous American Giver? Lol. Honestly, I’ve never encountered that phrase before so I looked it up. It’s probably even more problematic than the whole Welsh thing I was ranting about.
