John: Kevin! I just bought a pizza for you.
Kevin: Thanks dude! That’s really big of you.
- “That’s really big of you” in this situation means “You’re really so kind”, correct?
Thanks very much to friends!

Yes, it is. But a word like ‘kind’ doesn’t fit a situation where people call each other ‘dude’
‘Big’ in this context seems to refer to generosity rather than kindness, although the two qualities often go together.
I wonder if the adjective derives from the phrase ‘big spender’.
