One thought on “Can we please stop saying “it’s giving”?”

  1. I get what you mean! Language trends can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when they spread so quickly. It’s interesting how phrases catch on and become part of the everyday conversation, but not everyone has to embrace them. Maybe it’s just a reflection of the way we’re all influenced by social media and culture. What do you think would be a more fitting way to express similar sentiments without using “it’s giving”?
