I'M JUST CHILLIN'

3/16/2016

For the past week the weather in Seattle has been very rainy, windy, and gloomy. I know most of you will think, "but isn't Seattle known for being gloomy and rainy anyway?" Trust me, it's not always! It has, however, seemed this way for days and days now.

This kind of weather makes me want to curl up in my warm bed with my fleece socks on, a nice cup of tea in one hand and a book in another.  It makes me want to just "chill."

The word "chill" can be used to mean multiple things : to hang out (intransitive verb), to calm down (verb), someone who is very relaxed and easygoing (adjective), or sensation of coldness (noun).

When I say I want to "chill" because of the rainy windy weather I mean I just want to relax, hang out and do nothing.

This is the same meaning as the slang, chillin'

The English Student Meaning of Slang Chillin
In this cold, rainy weather, I would just be in my bed chillin'.

You can say to someone , "I'm just chillin' at home" or "I'm chillin' at my friend's place"


**If you have the energy to learn another phrase with the word "chill", the phrasal verb "chill out" is a good one. You might have heard it in movies before. It means to take it easy, calm down. For example, if you're very worried about a work presentation, your spouse may say, "You need to chill out! You'll be fine!" This means he/she is telling you to relax, calm down, don't get to excited. Everything will be OK!
