1
Hey, Lindsay, how are you today?
2
Hey, I'm doing great, Aubrey.
3
I'm doing great.
4
How are you?
5
Excellent.
6
Quick question for you.
7
What do you think of smart glasses, the kind you wear that can record everything or translate languages for you?
8
Honestly, it's giving creepy for me.
9
I agree.
10
I don't like it.
11
I don't want to know anytime someone's wearing glasses, I don't want to be wondering if they're recording me.
12
Oh, no, that is creepy.
13
I mean, now we know, you know, someone takes out a phone, they might be recording me.
14
I can kind of dodge the phone or something, but when it's glasses, you can't dodge everyone's glasses.
15
There's no way to know.
16
I know.
17
I agree.
18
It's giving creepy.
19
And you guys might have noticed Lindsay used this fun, new trendy slang phrase, it's giving, which is super common right now.
20
And we're excited to dive into it.
21
We're answering a listener question today about this phrase.
22
Yes.
23
I'm going to go ahead and read the listener question to get us started off.
24
This of course comes from YouTube.
25
Guys, don't forget, we have an entire YouTube channel where if you prefer to consume this podcast by video, you can do that.
26
So Aubrey, what should they search for when they go over to YouTube?
27
Yes, All Ears English on YouTube.
28
You'll see our signature yellow pop up and most of our episodes are on video over there.
29
So definitely go check them out.
30
You got it.
31
Exactly.
32
So this is from Saddam Mohamed U1G.
33
This was an amazing episode.
34
I really enjoyed it.
35
Using this phrase, can't help but, is so natural and creates a great sense of your clinginess to people you hold dear.
36
So he's commenting on a previous episode here.
37
Exactly. So let's see.
38
Where's the question for today?
39
So I'll share the rest.
40
He said we can also say, I can't stop myself from loving something.
41
And then he said, can you please reflect on it's giving naturally to refer that something serves a vibe.
42
Thanks a bunch, Lindsay, Aubrey, Michelle for your great topics.
43
And I love that you actually use two slang terms, both of which we're going to cover today.
44
It's giving and it's serving that something serves the vibe.
45
So this is going to be really fun.
46
All right.
47
Well, thank you to this listener for listening to our show.
48
We love that you're enjoying these episodes and yeah, we love covering new slang, new slang expert.
49
This one's been around a little while now though, right?
50
Aubrey, it's been around a couple
51
It's been around a little while, but it's still pretty modern.
52
It's great for connection, right?
53
We use it to talk about the vibe something gives off, but it's really playful, right?
54
It's a great way to share our opinion, but in a natural way.
55
So I hear it a lot.
56
I do use it quite a bit as well.
57
It really has become adopted in English, at least in the States.
58
It's really common.
59
Yes, I hear it a lot for sure.
60
Guys, go ahead and hit the follow button wherever you listen.
61
Again, if you're on YouTube, hit subscribe if you're on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, et cetera, hit follow.
62
So we come up in your queue five days a week.
63
All right.
64
Yes.
65
Awesome.
66
So let's first dive into it's giving on its own, right?
67
It's when something is giving off a noticeable vibe or aesthetic or energy.
68
So you might just say like that outfit is giving today.
69
And there's so much implied there.
70
It means you think it's giving a good vibe.
71
It's a great look.
72
It fits someone really well.
73
Yes.
74
Love that.
75
All right.
76
And so that's one way we can use it just by itself.
77
Just that is giving.
78
That's all you have to say.
79
It just means I love it.
80
It's a great vibe.
81
There's so many good things.
82
So much is unsaid when we just say that is giving.
83
But it's positive.
84
We know it's positive when we don't put any noun or anything after that or any feeling after that.
85
But we could also put a noun or a feeling.
86
We could say it's giving plus a noun or a feeling what does
87
that look like oprah let's do a role play all right
88
so this cake we made is so delicious i know it's giving gourmet yeah
89
so that's another way of saying like it is gourmet
90
it's super gourmet we'll use this be like it's giving gourmet yeah
91
i guess it comes from it's giving me the vibe of
92
or giving me the feeling of exactly the feeling
93
that it's gourmet just removing all those extra words yeah right all those extra words yeah
94
or another little role play this cafe is
95
so cute isn't it totally it's giving cozy sunday morning yeah
96
and that's what you mean is it's giving the vibe of a cozy sunday morning
97
but all you need is that it's giving love it
98
and then you could do it's giving plus a cultural reference hmm
99
i wonder what this looks like what do you think of this outfit
100
i'm into it it's giving early 2000s pop star yeah
101
it's true you're just removing the vibe of early 2000s pop star
102
but it does make it more playful yeah
103
or instead of saying like you look like an early 2000s pop star
104
it's just more fun it's more fun it's fun to be on trend sometimes right
105
or i might say this restaurant is cool yeah
106
i like it it's giving old school diner love old school diners right just a fun way to compare
107
it to something else right or you might say it's giving and then give more information, like a full vibe interpretation, right?
108
Yeah.
109
So this bar feels so fancy, but also beachy.
110
isn't it?
111
It's giving Aperol spritz on a European promenade.
112
This is a fun thing to do where you actually end up using more words because you're like, I'm going to give this other example,
113
other experience with a lot of details that might have the same vibe.
114
It's giving and then you make it even longer.
115
It's fun to do that.
116
Fun.
117
And this allows us to be creative, right?
118
Creativity is a big part of connection.
119
So here's your creativity opportunity, right?
120
Yeah.
121
And it doesn't always have to have
122
that it's right it can be also about a person you might say okay he's giving Elvis Presley meets
123
Mick Jagger or
124
if someone has big Elvis Presley glasses you might just be like he's giving Elvis Presley with those glasses yeah
125
or you could say she's giving main character energy right
126
so the star of a play for example
127
or a movie my kids say this when if we're watching a show
128
and someone is clearly a main character
129
and they're like there's no chance they're gonna die they'll say he's giving plot armor
130
or she's giving plot armor they'll say
131
that meaning like okay this is the main character
132
they're gonna survive right they can't be killed yeah unless it's game of thrones
133
or house of the dragon or something like
134
that where anyone could die at any time
135
there is no plot armor main characters they'll just off them interesting uh
136
or you could say i don't think i want to hang out with them
137
they're giving mean girls oh that's not good hey
138
it's just another way to say like they're not kind
139
they are mean girls they're giving mean girls interesting hey quick question do you want to feel more confident
140
when you speak english if
141
so we made a free guide for you it'll help you avoid those common mistakes
142
and start speaking more naturally in real conversations go grab it in the description below
143
and if this is helpful for you make sure that you like and subscribe.
144
We're here five times a week to help you connect in English.
145
Aubrey, so what do we think are some similar phrases?
146
We've been dropping them a few times as we've been explaining these.
147
What are we really saying here?
148
Yeah, and our listener mentioned serve or serving, right?
149
So we'll say serving and then blank something, which is the same, the vibe or an image someone gives off that's very noticeable.
150
This is pretty common.
151
We see it a lot in social media.
152
Okay.
153
Okay.
154
Yes.
155
Um, it can be positive.
156
It can be dramatic.
157
It can be a little bit playful, right?
158
And it's about being obvious or intentional.
159
We'll often hear the chunk they're serving looks.
160
So for example, he is serving looks in that outfit means they intentionally are wanting to turn heads.
161
Maybe something is very colorful or different
162
or unique to say someone is serving looks
163
or you could say he was serving face in
164
that photo shoot meaning there were he was using impressive facial expressions
165
that we want to comment on so this reminds me of zoolander right
166
when he does like blue steel
167
or whatever these you'd say he's serving face like intentionally making
168
extreme facial expressions for a reaction interesting what else aubrey what else might say she was serving old hollywood glam
169
so this might mean someone has like a dress or an outfit that is that vibe.
170
And you'd be like, she's serving and then fill out the details.
171
Yeah.
172
Or, or you might just drop everything else.
173
Just like with giving, she's serving.
174
Right.
175
Yeah.
176
If you just say she is serving, that just means she looks really good.
177
You're complimenting the outfit, the whole vibe.
178
Nice.
179
All right.
180
So what else might we say, Aubrey, if we want to just not always say giving and serving?
181
Right.
182
We also will say someone's in their blank era.
183
This is a phrase where someone's embodying a certain mood.
184
You know, this is also playful, kind of dramatic.
185
You might say he's been posting gym selfies every day.
186
Yeah.
187
He's in his fitness era.
188
Yeah, exactly.
189
Right.
190
So we're saying like, that's his vibe.
191
That's what he's into right now.
192
It's a good way of saying that.
193
Or she just moved to the city and is going on so many dates already.
194
I guess she's in her single girl era.
195
Yes.
196
Right.
197
Talking about kind of phases that people are in.
198
Yeah.
199
And then a much more common one that's been around forever is just to say,
200
it reminds me of, and then you're comparing it to something else.
201
Right.
202
So this is a more literal way to say what something reminds you of.
203
Right.
204
So you might say this cafe feels so cozy and quiet.
205
Yes.
206
It reminds me of my grandma's kitchen.
207
Or this song feels really nostalgic.
208
I know it reminds me of high school road trips yeah
209
so these are all yeah to add a bonus what i often say is just
210
it makes me think of something right
211
it makes me think of my grandma's kitchen it makes me think of high school road trips exactly
212
so it's fun to have these new trendy slang terms ready in your pocket
213
but you could overuse them right you could especially where some of these are more used on social media in comments,
214
like they're a little less common to be added to conversations.
215
You could, you know, drop them in every now and then, but then these are what we'll use more often.
216
What you said, Lindsay, this makes me think of this.
217
This reminds me of this.
218
Those are just very common in everyday conversation.
219
Yeah.
220
So be selective about your use of slang and mix it in.
221
You know, use classic phrases, use new ones, use evergreen ones, mix it in so people don't predict what you're going to say.
222
That's the key.
223
Yes.
224
All right.
225
Let's do a role play here.
226
You and I are friends.
227
We're talking about someone that we saw at a party last night.
228
I'll start us out.
229
All right.
230
Okay.
231
Did you see
232
Emma at the party last night?
233
She was serving looks.
234
Yeah.
235
She was so stylish.
236
It was giving red carpet vibes.
237
I know the dress was glamorous in a very nineties way.
238
Completely.
239
Her whole vibe right now, it reminds me of old school celebrities or models.
240
I totally see that she's definitely in her main character era 100
241
and it's working for her yeah this is interesting one thing to note here
242
we've talked a lot on the podcast about how we shouldn't always comment on appearance
243
and it's interesting how these phrases are more about a vibe even
244
when we say she's serving looks we're not talking about her like face
245
or her appearance you're not complimenting you know something
246
that someone can't change about their appearance
247
it says more about what they're wearing about their overall vibe
248
what they've chosen to wear how they've styled their hair
249
that kind of thing right exactly so here I started with did you see
250
Emma she was serving looks I'm talking more about what she was wearing
251
and her overall vibe yeah that makes sense
252
and then I said yeah she was
253
so stylish it was giving red carpet vibes yeah and this is
254
so fun to take something else to compare it to like it was giving
255
and in this case yeah red carpet we're just at a party
256
but someone wore something really fun
257
so like i could see her on the red carpet exactly it makes you think of the red carpet perfect
258
and then let's see i said you said i know
259
that dress was glamorous in a very 90s way
260
and i said completely her whole vibe right now it reminds me of old school celebrities
261
or models yeah so it makes me think of
262
or it reminds me of those are always you know really easy to throw in
263
and use and then i said she's definitely in her main character era
264
so you can you know the the construction here is you know she's in
265
or he's in then blank describe what they're doing
266
and then era nice love it yeah I love
267
this way as a way to I don't know
268
it's it is fun to build parallels in life right
269
this the way this person looks reminds
270
you of the red carpet right the way this person looks reminds you of drinking Aperol spritz in, in Europe in the summer.
271
I mean, it's so fun.
272
It can show how worldly you are in a way, right.
273
Without, without being condescending, it can show what you've experienced.
274
Maybe as long as you know, the other person is going to understand what you're saying.
275
That's the key.
276
Right.
277
Yeah.
278
Especially if you have something in common to build on, maybe you've taken a trip with them or you've had an experience with them,
279
then you can do that.
280
It's serving or it's giving and then share details about something you experienced together to like reminisce about this fun memory.
281
That's a great, so it could become a little bit of an inside phrase or an inside joke that you,
282
that really builds the connection with that.
283
Just be careful who else is around because obviously you don't want to leave them out.
284
Yeah.
285
Yeah.
286
That can be kind of hard sometimes for sure.
287
Aubrey.
288
Uh, well guys, first of all, go over to 2702, have the last laugh with these English idioms.
289
That would be a great episode to check out next.
290
Aubrey, where shall we leave our listeners.
291
Yeah, this is such a fun way to connect, right?
292
We do want to comment, especially positively like this, on people we know who are taking risks,
293
maybe wearing something unique, giving off a fun vibe, right?
294
And these are great phrases to be able to do that, to connect with friends.
295
All right.
296
Good stuff.
297
Good stuff.
298
Aubrey, I'll see you back here on the show very soon.
299
You have a good rest of your day.
300

301

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
