I really don't know what chav means. Around here it is deemed a derogatory politically incorrect word to describe a certain ethnic group. A word you just dare not say in publc these days.

The word "chillax" always sounds to me like it should have an e on the end and be wielded by a big hairy man with horns on his helmet.

Now there's a thought!

Rose Ive just had to look that up ;-)

I agree chillax is well chav :-D

There's a book we could buy .............................


The Little Book of Chav Speak: Amazon.ca: Lee Bok: Books

:-D :-D :-D :-D

It's chav-speak according to the young people I work with.

The only "slang" words I would use are the old cockney rhyming slang words....none of this modern rubbish

Don't think Chillax is something my 21 or 16 year old daughters would say to be honest

I think Butters is really cute.
Well he seems so in South Park anyway. :-D

Is there a 'wind up' merchant here!

Don't say another word about ..........................

(Rescues the DM from the nail in the out-house)

There is an article in the paper edition today by the journalist Joanna Moorhead about arguing with her teenage daughter.

Two of the daughters' stock responses are
You're butters (ugly)
You're moist (A negative person who tends to ruin other people's good times)

Ah well. There's a time and a place........

:-) Hayley...lot of phrases and words in them there dictionaries ;-)

One of my favourites is 'colloquialism' .

Rose :-|

I have a saying too, and it's in the Oxford dictionary............

Oh my daze the Guardian is even discussing it today.

Checked it is a word in the Oxford dictionary along with my next best saying take a chill pill.

I thought duff as been around for years, most of my life in fact. to duff someone means to me as give them a beating. Does it now have a new meaning?

Kay is there a new meaning to 'duff' ?

chillax Its a word used by lots of ages,,,,,,,a phase that will pass,,,,

duff is a new one on the block....

Just asked my 14 year old granddaughter about the word "Chillax" She said you only ever hear Kids use it:-0 So I asked what age these kids would be she said between abt 7 and 11 year olds

bet those over 40/50/60+ will remember the in words of their days.

hip,
fab,
cool,
rock-on,
no-way.
naff off.
dude.and many more.

which I'm sure our parents raised an eyebrow to.


recent,
wicked,sick.etc.

now its chillax and a few others,,,,,it will soon be replaced by a more rap inspired word.

Just to set the record straight, a proper Londoner wouldn't use the word chillax, it's a dopey word.

I too think Chillax is one for the kids, aging hippies and those trying to sound cool.

I've just asked my son if he had heard the word chillax, his response, he has heard it and thinks it's sloppy English used by lazy people. None of his peers use it as it's uncool.
