COFFEE & BISCUITS

I remember when I just moved to US, my classmates always use the word “chill”. In British English, there is not such word (I think…from my British English education in Hong Kong). Add on to the fact that most people who used this word (when I was a kid) are Americans and tended to be slackers in school, my impression to the word “chill” is indeed chilling.

Anyways, the wiki-how has an interesting entry on “How to be Chill.” Here are two definitions of how to be chill:

4. Chill people like to, well, chill. Chilling is pretty much the same as hanging out, only when you’re ‘chilling,’ your activities are usually much more relaxed. You wouldn’t go skydiving when you’re chilling, for instance. Also, try to invite Chill people to chill with you, because usually hyper people can ruin the chill mood, and then it’s not chilling, is it?

7. Chill people are also known to listen to good music, like “chill” music. This chill music usually includes, every song that “slaps”(songs that appeal greatly to you). If you were to view a chill person’s Itunes for instance, you can usually discover an array of all genres of music.

According to #7 then, I should be a chill person. But according to #4, I wouldn’t be since my idea of chilling indeed is to go skidiving.
