Chillin’

“What are you doing?”
“I’m Chillin’.”
“Put a sweater on.”
Don’t laugh, this really happened. The first time somebody told me they were “chillin’,” I thought they were cold.
So what is “Chillin’?” It’s a fancy way of saying, “I’m doing nothing.” But you can’t say you’re doing nothing.  There’s 40 million things to do and you can’t find one thing to do. So you say, “I’m Chillin’” to make it sound like you’re doing something, even if it’s nothing.
I don’t know if people still use that word. I think they might have figured out what it meant by now.
