I ate, you ate, we all ate. But what does it mean to eat in the metaphorical and internet-lingo sense? Surely it doesn't mean to consume a delicious meal at your local Golden Corral. According to Urban Dictionary, "She ate" means

Basically used to describe that someone did something perfectly or looked fabulous.

It's basically "she slayed" for the modern era. We have to keep coming up with new slang that all essentially means "this is good" otherwise we as Gen Zers will shrivel up and die. Of course, the internet did not invent "ate" in this contexts. Like basically all popular "internet slang" it came from the black queer community and has been reappropriated again and again. Such is the state of slang, but that won't stop most of us from using it. If you want some memes that slay, that are fierce, and that eat, then these memes slay the house down boots.
