Arrasa, reina
The English phrase 'slay queen' can be translated into Spanish as Arrasa, reina.
Did you know?
- If you use Arrasa in a literal sense, you might be talking about a natural disaster rather than a fashion icon, as the verb can mean to 'devastate' or 'demolish' a landscape.
- If you want to sound more natural in a drag context, you might hear devoraste, which means 'you devoured' the look or the performance.
- In some Spanish-speaking contexts, calling someone reina can even be used sarcastically to patronize them, which is the opposite of the empowering intent of 'slay queen'.
Examples in context
- ¡Arrasa, reina!Slay, queen!
- Vas a brillar, arrasa, reina.You are going to shine, slay, queen.
- Ese vestido es increíble, arrasa, reina.That dress is incredible, slay, queen.
