Father's Day gift
/ˈfɑːðərz deɪ ɡɪft/
Definition
1
A present given to a father or father figure to acknowledge and celebrate his role in a family on Father's Day.
2
A conceptual item, often cliché (such as neckties, socks, or grilling implements), purchased under societal pressure to prove one's filial affection.
Examples
Giving him another 'World’s Best Dad' mug is a bold choice when he already owns enough to hydrate a small army.
Choosing a Father's Day gift is essentially a yearly scavenger hunt to find something between 'a gadget he will never touch' and 'a pair of socks he will tolerate.'
If your Father's Day gift involves power tools, ensure he doesn't use it to 'fix' the very thing you explicitly asked him not to touch.
