one of the weirdest verb conjugations in english

[hitlersblackedwaifu]

Slay -> Slew -> Slain

doesn't roll off the tongue, at all

I'd rather be incorrect and say "slayed" that to say "slew" jfl

it sounds so reddit

[mvp2]

true, i felt the same way when i learned those words

[hitlersblackedwaifu]

what is weird is that I don't remember it from my school studying days

at school we had to write conjugation of irregular verbs (in batches) x5 times for each class to memorize them, this would go on for years

that's the equivalent of whipping a circus bear to make it walk on its hind legs

that is how yours truly learned to speak English better than a 150 iq WAIS V croatian lawyer

"Slay"
originates from the Old English slēan (to strike, hit, or kill) and Germanic roots (slahaną), evolving from meaning to kill/slaughter to 1920s slang for making someone laugh. Its modern usage—meaning to excel or look stunning—emerged in the 1970s–80s within Black and Latinx LGBTQ+ ballroom culture.
