What's the difference among "nail/kill/crush/slay it"? I feel they all mean the same.

All four mean to do something exceptionally well. They are all very familial and colloquial terms. I would say personally that "nail" and "kill" are most commonly heard. I rarely hear "slay" here in Australia. Maybe more American? I hear "crush" most often used in reference to an easy sporting win. E.g "How did you go in football today? We crushed them."

Yes Ethan, they all mean similar things "nail" is usually more directed, as in "i nailed this interview" "crushed" is usually more general "how's your job?" "Im crushing it". None are offensive, but you wouldnt say any of these in a workplace
