chillax

Take it easy

Chillax blends chill and relax, meaning to calm down or take it easy.

The word emerged in the 1990s as casual slang, often directed at someone who's tense or overreacting: Dude, chillax—it's not a big deal.

It can also describe deliberately unwinding: I'm just going to chillax this weekend.
