Usage notes[edit]
The alternative past tense and past participle form "slayed" is most strongly associated with the slang sense, "to delight or overwhelm":

You would think that, before you made the (very autistic) choice to become a grammar nazi, you would be sure to brush up on your elementary comprehension skills. Obviously (at least to those of us with more than 1 brain cell,) the fact that the most common usage of "slayed" in the modern vernacular is as a colloquialism for "did well" doesn't mean that the word cannot be appropriate in other uses. If you wanted to maintain that it's an anachronistic usage of the term, you'd be right, but instead you just tried to make it out as being completely wrong, which it isn't. That's you - you're completely wrong.

I'm done on this subject now, since it has been conclusively determined that you don't know what you're talking about. Still wanna double-down on your obtuse statement? Fine, but do it to an echo chamber.
