What does "it's giving" mean? I don't think I've heard anyone say that.
It started out as being “it’s giving X vibes” to describe things being similar (as the person who replied before me said). As slang is wont to do, it got shortened to “it’s giving”.
"it's similar too" or "it reminds me" I think? That's how I'd describe it from my understanding
That’s correct! It started out as “it’s giving X vibes” to state the similarity, then just naturally shortened to “it’s giving”.
