I could use a cheque to make a gift.
But if I cancelled the cheque, I would have merely changed my mind
about making the gift.

Do you often find yourself being sued for non-payment of a debt after
withdrawing a gift, or is dreaming up completely out-of-context replies
just
a hobby?

It appear to me to be in context. In general one can sue on a dishonoured
cheque (say one stopped or unpaid for NSF). But I believe there are some
defences available, such as fraud, illegality and a total failure of
consideration. A gift would be an example of the last.

From now on I'll make all gifts as cheques. Then if I stop liking the
person I can get the gift back!
