"Matt Lauer has been criticised for using the phrase &amp;quot;Indian giver&amp;quot; during his coverage of the London Olympics for Today. During a segment about Stella McCartney, co-host Meredith Vieira handed some underwear that McCartney had designed to Lauer. After the pair joked about the knickers, Vieira asked to take them back, prompting Lauer to say: &amp;quot;No, no, no, they&amp;#039;re mine - don&amp;#039;t be an Indian giver.&amp;quot; The term &amp;quot;Indian giver&amp;quot; refers to someone who gives a present and then wants it back, and is offensive to Native Americans. Viewers later took to Twitter to complain about Lauer&amp;#039;s use of the term, with one user writing: &amp;quot;Can&amp;#039;t believe people still think this term is acceptable! Kinda shocked.&amp;quot; Other posters called for Lauer to apologise, while one member wrote: &amp;quot;U just insulted every native American Shame on U &amp;amp; the rest of the NBC &amp;amp; @thetodayshow&amp;quot; Reality star Kris Jenner was criticised for using the term &amp;quot;Indian giver&amp;quot; last year, while Jessica Simpson sparked outrage when she used the phrase in 2009.
