Sorry I don’t quite understand’slate’ and what’s ‘slayt’(I’ve never seen it before 😭

@Rodrie
slayt is a past partiple tense form of slay
slay is a thing teenagers say as a compliment when you did something good. Some view it as annoying and overly feminine though.
slay / slayed! (imperative)
you slayed! (normal)
you have slayt. (normal past participle)

slate is like a stronger form of slay, so it carries the same tone. it's way newer, so it's a bit underground. (it is also only past tense)
slate! (sounds like "slayt!", which sounds unnatural. dont say this) ❌️
you slate! (you slayed and ate) ✅️✅️
usally it's only used when you want to speak quickly. Teenagers talk over long-winded people.
