English, but make it TikTok: How social media is reshaping language
Give, eat, cook and serve are everyday English words. On TikTok, they're doing something different.
AI Summary
On TikTok, everyday English verbs such as “give,” “eat,” “cook,” and “serve” are being repurposed. The word “give,” which normally means transferring something from one person to another, has taken on a new meaning on the platform. Users now say “it’s giving” to describe the feeling, impression, or energy that something creates.
