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 spiderâ€Åš Now, hold onâ€Åš 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:
Chillâ€Åš andâ€Åš 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:
Example
A: I'm so worried about going on my first date with Steven!
B: 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.
Example
A: What are you doing tonight?
B: 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, erm, 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.
