Hey, Lindsay, how are you today?

Hey, I'm doing great, Aubrey.

I'm doing great.

How are you?

Excellent.

Quick question for you.

What do you think of smart glasses, the kind you wear that can record everything or translate languages for you?

Honestly, it's giving creepy for me.

I agree.

I don't like it.

I don't want to know anytime someone's wearing glasses, I don't want to be wondering if they're recording me.

Oh, no, that is creepy.

I mean, now we know, you know, someone takes out a phone, they might be recording me.

I can kind of dodge the phone or something, but when it's glasses, you can't dodge everyone's glasses.

There's no way to know.

I know.

I agree.

It's giving creepy.

And you guys might have noticed Lindsay used this fun, new trendy slang phrase, it's giving, which is super common right now.

And we're excited to dive into it.

We're answering a listener question today about this phrase.

Yes.

I'm going to go ahead and read the listener question to get us started off.

This of course comes from YouTube.

Guys, don't forget, we have an entire YouTube channel where if you prefer to consume this podcast by video, you can do that.

So Aubrey, what should they search for when they go over to YouTube?

Yes, All Ears English on YouTube.

You'll see our signature yellow pop up and most of our episodes are on video over there.

So definitely go check them out.

You got it.

Exactly.

So this is from Saddam Mohamed U1G.

This was an amazing episode.

I really enjoyed it.

Using this phrase, can't help but, is so natural and creates a great sense of your clinginess to people you hold dear.

So he's commenting on a previous episode here.

Exactly. So let's see.

Where's the question for today?

So I'll share the rest.

He said we can also say, I can't stop myself from loving something.

And then he said, can you please reflect on it's giving naturally to refer that something serves a vibe.

Thanks a bunch, Lindsay, Aubrey, Michelle for your great topics.

And I love that you actually use two slang terms, both of which we're going to cover today.

It's giving and it's serving that something serves the vibe.

So this is going to be really fun.

All right.

Well, thank you to this listener for listening to our show.

We love that you're enjoying these episodes and yeah, we love covering new slang, new slang expert.

This one's been around a little while now though, right?

Aubrey, it's been around a couple

It's been around a little while, but it's still pretty modern.

It's great for connection, right?

We use it to talk about the vibe something gives off, but it's really playful, right?

It's a great way to share our opinion, but in a natural way.

So I hear it a lot.

I do use it quite a bit as well.

It really has become adopted in English, at least in the States.

It's really common.

Yes, I hear it a lot for sure.

Guys, go ahead and hit the follow button wherever you listen.

Again, if you're on YouTube, hit subscribe if you're on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, et cetera, hit follow.

So we come up in your queue five days a week.

All right.

Yes.

Awesome.

So let's first dive into it's giving on its own, right?

It's when something is giving off a noticeable vibe or aesthetic or energy.

So you might just say like that outfit is giving today.

And there's so much implied there.

It means you think it's giving a good vibe.

It's a great look.

It fits someone really well.

Yes.

Love that.

All right.

And so that's one way we can use it just by itself.

Just that is giving.

That's all you have to say.

It just means I love it.

It's a great vibe.

There's so many good things.

So much is unsaid when we just say that is giving.

But it's positive.

We know it's positive when we don't put any noun or anything after that or any feeling after that.

But we could also put a noun or a feeling.

We could say it's giving plus a noun or a feeling what does

that look like oprah let's do a role play all right

so this cake we made is so delicious i know it's giving gourmet yeah

so that's another way of saying like it is gourmet

it's super gourmet we'll use this be like it's giving gourmet yeah

i guess it comes from it's giving me the vibe of

or giving me the feeling of exactly the feeling

that it's gourmet just removing all those extra words yeah right all those extra words yeah

or another little role play this cafe is

so cute isn't it totally it's giving cozy sunday morning yeah

and that's what you mean is it's giving the vibe of a cozy sunday morning

but all you need is that it's giving love it

and then you could do it's giving plus a cultural reference hmm

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

You too.

301

See you next time.

302

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
