It slaps 非常棒
    2021-04-29  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

A: Did you listen to the debut single by the singer that I sent you via WeChat?

B: Yes, I did. It made me want to get up and move. It slaps!

Note: “Slap” is slang verb meaning “to be excellent or amazing.” It’s especially used to refer to a song someone finds extremely good. The association of the word “slap” with great qualities isn’t brand new. It was an adjective for “first-rate” in the mid-1800s and an adverb, meaning “excellently,” even earlier, in the mid-1700s. “Slap” appears to start getting applied to music, specifically, by at least the early 2000s. Similar words are “jam, smash hit,” perhaps linked to the strong beats of music.
