Slay is an old word meaning to kill, especially in a dramatic or violent way - you'll often see it in old stories, like 'slay a dragon'. More recently, it has become popular slang with a completely different, positive meaning: to do something extremely well, or to look - like saying 'she slayed that performance'.
(文學/古語)殺死、屠殺;(近年流行語)表現出色、驚艷全場
