Nel Regno Unito, molti politici sono dei workaholics (vedi il post –aholic), ma pare che quest’appellativo non sia valido per David Cameron, di recente confermato nella carica di Primo ministro. Cameron infatti è noto per essere capace di ‘staccare’ dal gravoso compito di guidare il Paese e rilassarsi alla grande. Chillax in origine significava calm down, relax e la combinazione di due termini praticamente sinonimi serviva solo a rafforzare il messaggio. Dallo slang giovanile chillax è entrato velocemente nel linguaggio quotidiano dopo la rivelazione che a David Cameron piace trascorre i fine settimana nella residenza ufficiale di campagna insieme alla famiglia, rilassandosi con comunissime attività di svago. Sebbene la forma verbale sia la più frequente, chillax si usa anche come sostantivo per riferirsi a un periodo di chilled relaxation (cioè di ‘relax rilassante’) e come aggettivo, riferibile a persone, luoghi o situazioni.
Origini del termine
Chillax nasce dalla fusione di chill e relax e pare aver fatto la sua prima comparsa verso la fine del secolo scorso; nel Regno Unito i media l’hanno adottato piuttosto di recente, in seguito alla pubblicazione della biografia di David Cameron nel 2012.

Many politicians are workaholics. Not so the recently re-elected Prime Minister of the UK David Cameron, who is famed for his ability to switch off from the demands of the job and take time out. Chillax originally meant calm down, relax, the combination of two words with essentially the same meaning being designed to reinforce the message. The word moved from youth slang to more general currency after it was revealed that Cameron, who is famously laid-back, likes to spend weekends at his official country retreat indulging in a range of undemanding leisure activities with his family. While most frequently found as a verb, chillax also occurs as a noun, referring to a period of chilled relaxation, and an adjective, which can be applied to people, places or situations.
Origin
Chillax is a blend of chill and relax. Its first appearance on the scene was at the end of the 20th century, but it gained currency in the UK media after the publication of a biography of David Cameron in 2012.
