Hand-me-up
(adjective)
definition: something that a younger person gives to an older person because they no
longer use it or they have something better to replace it.
example: 'And more and more older users are joining the throng as PC prices fall and adult children give “hand-me-up” computers to mom and dad.'
Similiar to hand-me-down which is something someone gives to a person younger than them for the same reasons, for example clothes.
