Don't worry, chillax! Learn more about this new word in this programme with Finn and Wang Fei.
The script from this programme:
Wang Fei: (Screaming) Ahhh!!
Finn: Wang Fei, are you ok?
Wang Fei: (Screaming) No, no. Ahhh!!
Finn: What's wrong? What's wrong?
Wang Fei: There's a big, green spider in the studio!
Finn: A spider? Oh, it's only a spider. Chillax!
Wang Fei: Chillax?!
Finn: Yes, chillax. I'll get the spider... Now, hold on... Got it. Feel better?
Wang Fei: Thanks, yes, much better. So Finn, what was that word you just said?
Finn: Chillax. It's a combination of two words. Can you guess them?
Wang Fei: Chill... and... relax?
Finn: Chill and relax, yes. It means the same as chill or chill out or relax. So just now I told you to chillax, which means don't worry, relax.
Wang Fei: Oh, I understand. So if I tell somebody to chillax it means, basically, to relax or to calm down?
Finn: That's right. That's one way we can use it. For example:
- I'm so worried about going on my first date with Steven!
- Chillax, it'll be ok. I'm sure you'll have a nice time.
Finn: You could also just say, I want to chillax or I'm chillaxing.
Wang Fei: Chillaxing.
- What are you doing tonight?
- Nothing special, just going to chillax at home.
Wang Fei: So does chillax mean exactly the same as chill out and relax?
Finn: Well the meaning is the same, but chillax is a newer expression, so you probably won't hear it as much.
Wang Fei: Great. So by the way Finn, where did you put that spider?
Finn: The spider?
Wang Fei: Yes, the big, green spider.
Finn: Oh, the spider. I can't remember. I think I left it on the desk.
Wang Fei: Really? Then what is that big, green thing climbing up your neck?
Finn: Eh? What? Ahhh!!
Wang Fei: Ha ha. Finn, chillax! I was just kidding.
Finn: Very funny Wang Fei. Bye for now.
Wang Fei: Bye.
