Obviously, an essential part of being REALLY chill is having your own terminology that, well, you and maybe a handful of people understand. For that reason, we decided to introduce a couple of key expressions that must be part of your vernacular if you want to be exponentially chiller than you currently are.

#1. YKI. (“Why Kay Eye”) Acronym for: “You’re killing it.” Verb. Origin: Greek.

The act of “killing” or “murdering it” in any situation, regardless of external factors such as country, weather, or social setting; winning at all costs, doing something legendary. Used in a sentence: “Jonny-I heard you got a table at 1Oak last night then took the bottle waitresses on your G6 to LA where you went to a party at the playboy mansion…YKI.”

Alternate uses: HKI-hes killing it, SKI-shes killing it. IKI-im killing it, I killed it, I’ll kill it, I’ve killed it. NKI – Not killing it.

Close synonyms: YMI: “You murdered/murked it.”

For the chillest of chill…“KMM” – “Kill Murder Murk” Used in a sentence: “I drank so much at that bar, got 10 girls numbers, lost my phone, and got thrown out of  own apartment complex. I KMM’d the night.”

REALLY EXCLUSIVE: Rc.org’s “Really Chill Phrase of the Week”-3/18/10 is a post from: You're Like Really Chill

It’s 11 p.m. on a Saturday night. What was supposed to be a fratty pregame with some college bros and maybe a couple randos has quickly morphed into a rager. Beer pong balls are flying around the room and someone just popped a couple of bottles of Goose — that’s Geese. A sketchy dance party is in full effect. You’re eyeing one of the blondes in the corner who works with your friend Kristy and she catches your gaze with a smile.

Jason Derulo’s “Watcha Say” is on blast – it’s been your go-to song all summer and – you start grinding against the blonde.  You bring out your signature dance move – the invisible microphone, obviously – and she grabs your hand and starts singing along to the chorus. “Jackpot,” you say to yourself as you take a swig of your Jack and Coke while your hand moves against her waist.

She’s feelin you and starts moving in closer. You’re about to motion her to your room to “take shots and maybe watch an episode of ____” when suddenly the music stops. “What the fuck!” you shout as you glare at the culprit unplugging your iPod from the other side of the room. He’s wearing flannel, tight jeans — the token hipster of the party that no one knows — and you overhear him talking about this “really chill trance DJ from Iceland” that he’s trying to “you , know blow up” in the U.S.

You desperately try and grab the blonde work before it’s too late but the damage is done. She bolted. You lost.

Lesons of Losing:

1. Never leave your iPod in plain sight
2. Trance music – unless specified strictly for after hours purposes – is, like, nott that chill
3. If someone says that a new track is like “reeaally chill” it’s probably “not that chill” because you haven’t heard it yet. Therefore, it should not be played at your party.

#3 Party music? I got this [no you don't]: A Chronicle of Losing is a post from: You're Like Really Chill

Christmas break. If you thought it ended in college, you’re mistaken. There’s nothing bros like more than returning to their old stomping grounds (aka high school bars and football fields) after a spat in the “real world,” reminiscing about who they used to “do work” on and potentially rekindling an old flame or 12.

But there’s one person who can singlehandedly destroy a perfectly great homecoming: THAT guy who has a phone conversation on a quiet plane, taxiing on the runway, for everyone to hear. Lets be serious, though. He’s probably involved in business thats SO important, it can’t wait 10 minutes until he’s in the jetway. In fact, if he were even close to as important as he was acting:

1. he’d either be flying private (refer to mr exclusive)
2. he’d be flying first class (aka NOT coach)
3. the meeting would be coming to HIM.

We all know THAT guy too. He’s the one talking extra loudly acting like public silence doesnt bother him, making sure you can hear everything he’s saying. “No, tell Mike to run the numbers again…and make sure Eddie shoots those docs over to me…ok ya ya ya…I’m taking off, ok…I’ll get at you when we get into Geneva.” Dude…clearly Mike and Eddie are interns, because anyone making sure everyone hears their business calls is most definitely at the bottom of the hierarchical totem pole. And clearly the flight is going to Long Beach airport, not Switzerland.

And how bout THAT traveler with the world’s most annoying ring? Or THAT traveler that has to call their ride the second the plane lands? Ok, everyone on the plane knows we’ve been delayed over an hour, but waiting an extra ten minutes wont kill your friend that’s driving you to your ten year high school reunion. Ya thats like…not that chill.

Happy Holidays everyone and if you come across THAT guy on the plane, move seats as quickly as possible.

That Guy who singlehandedly ruins your holiday travel is a post from: You're Like Really Chill

Just when I thought I would have to retire my letters out of shame, I saw something out of the corner of my eye: a bunch of dudes in blowouts fist-pumping with their shirts completely unbuttoned. “Had Los Angeles really deteriorated into Long Island?” I thought as I watched a dozen lemon drop shots being consumed by said individuals. Upon further inspection, the bare-shirted clowns proved to be none other than Paully D, Mike “The Situation” and some tagalongs of MTV’s flagship show, The Jersey Shore. Not to be outdone, 4’9 Snookers and J Woww in close by tow. The scene outside Mi6 courtesy of TMZ (Best line “Snookie is a real person, dude!”):

Great Show on Television or Greatest Show on Television? is a post from: You're Like Really Chill

We had a nice little chat last week about probably one of the most disgraceful and offensive programs MTV has ever debuted, The Jersey Shore. As if it wasn’t enough that we viewers had to sit through episodes of Road Rules, Real World and Made, MTV decided 2009 was the time to really throw is in the mud: A show about a bunch of self-proclaimed “guidos” and “guidettes” spending a summer in a shore house with a map of Italy on the front.

As if “real life” on “The Shore” wasn’t bad enough for the network, MTV staff affiliated with the show have been receiving death threats. From The NY Daily News:

“The MTV building inTimes Squarewas getting crazy threats and they are in the process of hiring more security [and] bodyguards,” an insider revealed to Fox News. Those involved with the press for the show were particular targets — receiving threatening emails, abusive phone calls and even hurtful Facebook messages, says the insider.

Clearly, this show was a terrible idea given that it has received this backlash. Even Domino’s has pulled the trigger, refusing to advertising spots during The Jersey Show. And yet…like… hear at ReallyChill.org, we just can’t stop watching it. Is “Snookie” from Poughkeepsie actually going to leave The House? Who’s The Situation going to do work on?

What do you think?

Jersey Shore Backlash Warranted is a post from: You're Like Really Chill

Mr. West Coast checking in. It’s been a while since my last post but now that the latest swell has died down, I can finally put down the board and pick up the blog.

For those of you living on the Wack Coast (read: East Coast), this weekend marks the culmination of Pac 10 football. Despite a disappointing season for the Pac 10 (seriously, a team from Oregon in the Rose Bowl?), this Saturday promises to be one of the chillest Saturdays when U of A travels to the Coliseum to take on the Trojans. Naturally, the question arises, “Which school is more chill?” To answer this question, we’ve assembled a team of bros from the up and down the West Coast to break it down:

Sweet Bros: USC

Despite the fact that lax is not prevalent at either school, both schools boast strong fraternity mansions, so naturally, chill bros can be found in plenty. In fact, we were pleased to learn that over 73 percent of underclassmen polled at both schools expressed that frats had a “strong influence” on their day-to-day lices.

Due to its location in L.A. (center of the Universe), however, ‘SC clearly wins this one. Bros can hit up chill surf spots like El Porto and Trestles as well as good snowboarding spots like Mountain High and still make it back in time to haze their pledges before a trip to the Nine O.

Tucson’s got…well…Monster Truck Rallies and the Rodeo, which means there is little else to condition a bro except to get roided before going to the gym.

Fly Girls: University of Arizona

No contest. Have you seen this place? When the weekend begins on like Monday morning, there is little else to do except chill by the pool and look great. ‘SC has talent though, just not compared to the desert’s finest.

Chillest Quarterback: USC

Again, a tough one because at first glance Matt Barkley and Nick Foles seem like, really chill. However…

Barkley

1. Is from Orange County and
2. looks like he just stepped out of the water after an early morning sesh.

That’s like chill.

While Foles:

• Has a flow that laxers would certainly be proud of….

• He kind of reminds us more of Sunshine from Remember The Titans. Not Chill.

So what do you think? Leave us your thoughts in the comment section after the jump.
