Understanding the Meaning of 'Slay' in a Conversation
Jim, what does the term 'slay' mean? I heard JJ and El use it today while they were playing with Mike and the others.
Well, the word 'slay' has a few different meanings depending on the context. In the classic sense it means to kill something, like a beast or monster. That's probably how they use it in their DND games.
Oh, I see. But they were not playing DND, they were just talking about their day at school. Does the word 'slay' have a different meaning in today's slang?
Ah, I see. Yes, 'slay' in the modern slang refers to doing something really well, it's like nailing something or dominating. Usually, it's used to compliment someone's outfit or performance.
That makes sense. They were indeed talking about some dance performance at their school. Thanks for explaining, Jim!
You're welcome! Don't worry, with JJ and El around, we'll always be up to date with the latest lingo.
