EN: channeling the vibe of; embodying the essence of
The ultimate Gen Z / Millennial compliment (or insult). It's when your outfit is 'giving rich tita vibes' or your friend's dramatic story is 'giving main character energy'. It’s the 2020s version of saying 'parang,' 'mukhang,' or 'may dating na.' You're not just *like* something, you are *giving* its entire essence to the universe.
From the English word "giving," popularized in LGBTQ+ ballroom culture and spread through social media platforms like TikTok.
Almost always followed by a noun or noun phrase that describes the "vibe" being channeled (e.g., giving tita, giving BPO agent, giving sad girl).
