AEE: Are You Slaying English?

In this All Ears English podcast episode, Aubrey and Lindsay explore the multifaceted word "slay." They begin by discussing its traditional meaning, related to violently killing something, especially in fantasy contexts, and the tricky past tense forms "slew" and "slain." Transitioning to modern slang, they define "slay" as doing something exceptionally well, similar to "killing it" or "crushing it." They provide examples of how to use "slay" in everyday conversations, particularly on social media, and highlight its role in building connections by acknowledging others' achievements. The hosts also share a role-play to illustrate the different uses of "slay" and direct listeners to a previous episode, 2511, which covers the term "slew."
