The Telegraph is my newspaper of choice, however, just because that stupid words has been used in print doesn't mean I shall be using it this side of hell!

Not an issue, DET. Just chill. Now where is that axe?

I feel sure the Duchess of Cornwall chillaxes. She is down with the yoof. She is star, groovy, ace, cool, sick :-) :-)

Sorry - but Chillax still sounds like something an aging hippy would use, picked up by the teenagers to use as 'street language'. It's not something that our offfspring have used when talking to us!
I wonder how many adult/mature in age Telegraph readers use it in day to day conversations?
:-S

NS, My English. spelling and grammar is not great but one thing I do no is that the words that make a sentence up have different meanings when the same words are used in a different order, "CONTEXT"

con·text

noun
1.
the parts of a written or spoken statement that precede or follow a specific word or passage, usually influencing its meaning or effect: You have misinterpreted my remark because you took it out of context

Roy

Rollo. You can dare say. But not dare suppose. There is no Viking bravery is supposition :-)

The Daily Blue ?
POSH (port out starboard home)
the house journal of middle ranking civil servants, failed bankers and headmasters?

surely not in St James

Oh Roy :-D :-D :-D in the context - what's that supposed to mean.

You can stick the word up a jumper - it has the same meaning any where you use it - a self explanatory word.

Think I'll start using the word 'butters' as well.

I dare suppose that Virgina Woolf knew more about the English language than the dolts running most of the press and tv

NS, No one RR'd you for using the word "chillax"

You were RR'd for the context in which you used the word

Roy

Many modern words I hate. But I absolutely love chillax - it says what is means and is so much easier than the alternative. Relaxing and chilling out.

Now don't start me on color, flavor, sidewalk, elevator, fries. What is all that about? :-S :-S

Yesterday in the Telegraph - one of UK's 'posh' newspapers

Clarke: Prime Minister has right to 'chillax' - BBC 2012

Somebody rr'd my post for using the now commonly used word in UK, Chillax

If the newspapers can use it and the BBC, so can I or anybody else

Now steady on there "Don't get your knickers in a twist" - that is in the Oxford dictionary as well - but you are wrong.
lol :-D :-D :-D
