Didn't Benedict Cumberbatch narrate a documentary on Punglers?

Things can evolve beyond the origin of their names.
In the part you quoted you even demonstrate that the activity has names other than White Elephant. By your logic, can Yankee Swaps only be done by people in the northern US?
"Gift exchange" could describe any number of things, from a standard everyone-buys-soemthing-for-everyone-else, to Secret Santa, to White Elephant/Yankee Swap. Have you seen "gift exchange" used anywhere to specifically refer to a game of White Elephant done with non-shitty gifts?

IDK, I feel as though they probably just know how to knock things off of tables/shelves, torture small rodents, how to properly use litter(ie get it all over the place), and show people their butt hole. Not sure any of that is actually useful for productive humans.

I think most people that go through design school might argue there is MORE crying 😂 it’s tough, just in a different way!

I should have gone to design school! That sounds like a lot more fun than the actual college I attended where there was much more math and crying

Funny enough, I actually went to a design college and during our first year we had a cardboard project where we had to make thing out of recycled cardboard - so I like to think those skills came in clutch!

Is this a skill you've always had or have you learned recently?

It’s called a gift exchange….
White elephant refers to the story of the Thai king giving people he didn’t like white elephants. They weren’t allowed to decline or get rid of the gift, and taking care of an elephant would bankrupt them.
That’s why it’s called white elephant. It’s about shitty gifts
