"It's giving..."
 

So annoying

It’s giving triggered Niamh vibes slaaaaaay

:oh:

Let me in on the joke please, I'm feeling left out.

I did say "Please"

It's not a joke, they keep saying that stupid phrase on Late and live and in the house "it's giving slay" "it's giving fake vibes " blah blah

Not "slay"

The youngsters at work are always saying that, annoys the sh!t out of me. And the irony is, they take the pi55 out of me for how I talk. You couldn't make it up.

:joker::joker:

Oh it’s the worst.. i don’t watch much L&L but Martha kills me with it.. i mean tell me you sit in your dressing gown on tiktok all day long without telling me you sit in your dressing gown on tiktok all day long… tick

Soooo annoying!!!

It's really common slang nowadays, plus it was hilarious when BB said "it's giving rulebreak"

Is it not mainly stuff you keep online though like "lol" [emoji23]

No but it comes from AAVE (black Americans) and has existed for over 40 years but only now people of different demographics have adopted the term and made it more current slang all over.

Other words this happened with; Bruh, fam, no cap, bussin and so many more

Oh really? That's interesting. Still annoys me everytime I hear it though :laugh:

Yeah, for a long time it was LGBTQ people who were adopting a lot of AAVE terms but because of the Internet Gen Alpha are picking up a whole lot of vernacular, especially from the US.

I hate the word fam.:laugh:

I like bruh though.

Yeah it's awful, I wanna slap people who use the phrase "it's giving..." - NO! Stop it, tramp. Talk proper like I do. :hmph:

There's a lot of "trickle-up" slang tbh.

This from last Christmas still makes me laugh

She is too old to use this type of stuff


Saying things that, for example, black Americans say, is for 16-24 year olds only as they try and impress other kids until they find a partner and reproduce

she is past it

That one was funny :laugh: its mostly from Martha overusing it lol

It's her soundbite meme , like a one trick pony .

It was used in films like Paris is burning. Way before people had the internet.

Obviously, babes, regardless.

Thanks for this, will be keeping this to post on Niamh’s wall.

Oh GoldGlitter...
