Hmmm, "slay" sounds kinda similar to "nail", you know... You slayed it! You nailed it!

[wahebsahli]

Slay it means to kill but .and we are people when we like something we say you killing me so that's what happened with the word slay

So… “slay” is another way to give a compliment to someone like a previous lesson “you ate” that you taught us, isnt it?

I am used to the meaning :slay=to kill a person or animal. Not interested in British slang because I am a non-native.

So, Slay is gay lingo to express that something is very nice.

I slayed my interview. I did amazingly well.

I nailed the interview. I succeeded perfectly.

I smashed the interview. I did really well. (British slang.)

I aced the interview. I passed it with flying colours.

Thank you so much BBC learning. 🩵

Does not slay to kill in a violent way mean?

[boodyomaratef]

I slay my home work
I ate my home work
Is that correct?
