Summary

Usage notes

The alternative past tense and past participle form “slayed” is most strongly associated with the various slang senses:

Harry Charles Witwer (1929) Yes Man’s Land‎[3], 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!””

In recent use, “slayed” is also often found associated with the other senses as well. However, this is widely considered nonstandard.[1]

A review of US usage 2000-2009 in COCA suggests that “slayed” is increasing in popularity, but remains less common than “slew”. It is very rare in UK usage (BNC).

“Slain” has a current usage in newspaper headlines, as being shorter than “murdered”.
