EN: having a rough/uncouth/gutter vibe
This is when the vibe is less 'classy' and more 'kalye'. Think loud arguments in public, wearing pambahay to the mall without a care, or that friend who burps the alphabet after downing a bottle of Red Horse. It's not necessarily a bad thing—sometimes 'giving kanal' is just being unapologetically real and raw. It's the opposite of 'giving conyo'.
Combination of the slang "giving" and the Tagalog word "kanal" (canal, gutter), used metaphorically to mean "low-class" or "crass."
Used to describe behavior, aesthetics, or speech that is perceived as unrefined, chaotic, or coming from a "street" or "lower-class" background, often with a humorous or self-deprecating tone.
