to chill = to hang out, usually with your friend(s). If you're chilling, you're probably just doing nothing, or you have nothing specific planned, thus the expression 'just chillin(g)' ///// Time to chill = it's time to calm down. If someone tells you to 'chill' or 'you gotta chill' (the older expression is 'chill out') it usually means you're acting crazy or you're worrying too much.
