No you don't.

Sorry brother from another mother.

Chill means a calm or easy going person in the ads.

I used this word since I was an early teen.

I don't use it anymore, I've grown to use "hang out" over "chill"

I've been called a "chill person" my whole life. That means I'm a pretty relaxed or mellow guy. I don't see why someone would get upset over this honestly, It's just more slang.

If you don't like slang, I suggest you learn another language and give up on English.

I'll let the other's source it for you but my Mom, who is 62, uses this word.
