slay
(to overwhelm or delight)

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

1929, Harry Charles Witwer, Yes Man's Land[2], page 254:

"Cutey, you slayed me !" grins Jackie, working fast. "I guess that's what made the rest of 'em look so bad — you was so good!"
