To 'Chillax' is something I might do with friends or family.


It may be an expression my son uses occasionally, along with other phrases ...but I don't feel I have to adopt them to communicate with him on an equal footing anymore than I expect him to use some of the phrases that are habitual to me from 'my generation'

The point is when he uses it as in "lets chillax for a while " then WE "chillax" together....and THAT is a very different thing than being TOLD to "chillax" by a complete stranger.

Posting any word is not the problem, the problem is in what context? using the word chillax after posting in the context of your thread and comments is where the problem lies

Definition of chillax

verb
[no object] informal
calm down and relax:you can dance to your favourite tune, chillax, or have friends over

I for one object to being told to Chillax "Calm down" by any member who started the controversy and making wild accusations with no evidence what so ever and aggressively attempted to discredit others and or refuse to accept other opinions as credible

Age has nothing to do with it

Why do some people feel they have to behave in such a way just because of their age. Can never understand that. Just seen somebody object to the word Chillax. Can't get by head around the words 'butters' & 'fresh' but at least I know what the kids mean.

I'm supposed to be an old fogie but I like to be able to keep up with my grandchildren - they think I'm funny.

Have to posh down a little when dealing with some of my community cases but it helps to be able to be on the same wave length of understanding.

What do others think?
