Lesson
In the United States, saying kind words for something someone does is an acceptable form of flattery. To give someone props, means to say congratulations for someone's accomplishment. It does not mean to give someone an object.
For example, you and your friend play soccer together on a team. You friend scores a goal. It is kind to say, "props" to your friend.
If someone does something extra special, for example, your friend scores two goals, you tell your friend, "mad props." This is a higher form of congratulations than simply saying "Props."
Try it yourself
You say: Props for scoring a goal.
Your Friend says: Thank you.
You say: Mad props for scoring two goals!
Your Friend says: Thank you so much!
