"Chillax." Legitimate addition to the language, or horrifically twee bastardisation for which you should be shot?

[UnquietDad]

Discuss.

At length if you wish.

Nevr heard the expression- s it a bastardisation of "Chill"

Is.

WTF does it mean??

Have never heard it, but suspect my trigger finger would be itching...

I was told to chillax in pre2001
i thought it was rather witty

I'd never heard it until... I saw it on here. And then after that, one of my writing students said it.

I can only assume it is a conflation of "chill" and "relax".

discuss?

Pedants are my kind of people.

I hate it.

I even tried using it once.

Had to wash my mouth out with vinegar to relieve the bad taste.

What, are they rationing letters now so we have to have two words for the price of one?

However one feels about neologisms (is that what I mean? I'm scared of This Place), it's a word that surely must send blood pressure through the roof. I see it topped off with a passive aggressive smiley...

Chillax.

Sounds like an enema brand.

I don't understand. What does this mean?

Er, whatever, chillax, guys.

AAARRRRNGG++++JJJHH

yes a kid told me in my old job
i left there on 2001
very drole
i like it
where have you lot BEEN

you weren't actually considering using it were you UQD????
t'is only for emotionally repressed, 13yr -17yr old boys... I'm sure you don't fit in that category.

Not at all! I saw it, hated it, and wanted the pleasure of seeing my fellow pedants shoot it down in flames.

go on... admit it... you were tempted

Ahhh. All becomes clear.

god oyu is an old fucker UQ

get with it

On in dialogue for an emotionally repressed, 13-to-17-year-old boy.

I use it to wind up my 12 year old in a "isn't Mum dead cool?" kind of way

Scatillogical is similar (as in scatty/illogical). Has very dodgy alternative meaning but I like it. Chillax, on the other hand, is unnecessary.

Chillax can only be said by those under 16, I know, my Guides told me, when I used it to be (cough, cough) down wiv de yoof.

Apparently the government is considering a tax on letters so you must contract as much as possible. Either that or text messaging is sending this country to the dogs.

horrid bastardisation that should involve shooting in a slow and unpleasant fashion - extremities first. On anyone over 18, anyway - no accounting for the Yoof lingo.
