was it so called "Slay" to fail classes when you went to school?

Sounds like a deflection from embarrasment though.

If your kids have TikTok go though their FYP, Most the kids on TiTok think is funny that they are failing classes, and "SLAY" MEANS COOL i THINk.

Slay means “do it” or “go ahead”. It’s basically like you’re cheering someone on. It’s taken from the gay black ballroom subculture. Beyonce made it more mainstream with her song “Formation”.

The FYP = For You Page. It’s just suggested videos/ recommendations.

Oh, DCUM. First you don’t know that saying “appreciate you” arose in Black culture, and now you don’t know what slay means or that it came into pop culture by way of drag.

It’s definitely a parenting fail in more ways than one. I see where DD gets it from.

I had a bit of a rough childhood and became friends with the "bad" kids, and we giggled about our failing grades. It was not cool to try hard in school. I think it was mostly a defense mechanism, for all of us.

I remember when I went to school, I didn't like getting good grades, now kids are happy and showing up all over Tiktok when they fail a class... When did this come about?
I graduated from high school in 2002, and my daughter thinks is funny because she got D for this marking period in Algebra 1A. She said all over Tiktok everyone is getting 20s and 10s% now...

Not to be mean but clearly she should be spending more time studying and less time on TikTok. Algebra is foundational for all math (except geometry) that comes next and some science. Please get on top of this.

I’ve only seen slay used positively. Like when someone wins something (slay queen!!!!) but I’m not up with my teen lingo

Your daughter is an idiot. No, kids aren't bragging when they fail. At least the decent students aren't.

People accuse Whitman of being a pressure cooker but at least kids there aren't celebrating failing classes. It's pretty much the opposite in my DCs experience.

This.

And Slay is used for sports and meets. Go conquer the race, slay (it).

I have no idea what OP is trying to say here cause the slang she's trying to use is off.

Y’all are missing the point here. Is this an actual thing? Are kids trying to fail to get likes and looks on ticktock?

Thank God for private school, where my daughter is surrounded by kids who say "slay" when they get an A for the semester.

PS daughter also deleted tik tok from her phone because it was distracting her. Slay!!
