Ate
[/eɪt/]
Definitions
Did something perfectly, completely, and impressively. To "eat" (past tense: ate) a performance, look, or challenge means to dominate it fully with no leftovers — you consumed it entirely. Originates from ballroom culture and drag slang, now used broadly for anyone who executes something flawlessly.
“She ate that chorus — the whole arena was on their feet.”
