slaps
Hits with palm
Slaps is recent slang meaning something is excellent or impressive, especially music or food: This song slaps, Her cooking slaps.
The word suggests impact—something that hits hard in a good way.
The usage spread from hip-hop culture into mainstream youth slang around the 2010s.
