It's a woke PC friendly way of saying someone or thing is acting in a certain way, but it only ever works when said by woke idiots in the same vein that "People of Colour" is acceptable [for now], but "Coloured People" is not. I remember within the last couple of decades saying someone was acting gay, or black, or whatever would set someone off about how stereotypes are bad, but that's precisely what "coding" is under another label.
