Native speaker’s answer

"Gimme" is actually slang for the phrase "give me." It means to hand over. Here are a couple of examples of using this slang phrase "gimme." Ex: Hey! Gimme that! Ex: Ooooh, I like that dress. Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! Ex: Just gimme that! If you are unsure of which one to use, I recommend using "give me." It is a little more formal, especially around people you are not very familiar with.
