Chill
의미: To relax or calm down; also describes someone or something that is easygoing and likeable.
'Chill' is extremely versatile in American English. As a verb, it means to relax ('let's chill'). As an adjective, it describes someone calm and easygoing ('she's really chill'). It can also be a command to calm down ('chill, it's not that serious'). The phrase 'Netflix and chill' added a euphemistic meaning in the 2010s.
