Peer comment(s):

agree	De Novi : Yep - relax, chill or hang out 18 mins
	Thanks Zanne :)
agree	Martin Lilja : Hang out or Chill out - i agree. Whenever I heard people say the are going to "mellow out" for the weekend they usually meant smoke alot of dope... 1 hr
	Tack Martin :)
agree	Tania McConaghy 15 hrs
	Tack Tania :)
neutral	Hugh Curtis : Yes Martin is right, mellow out is get stoned 1 day 6 hrs
	Whereas I don't think it necessarily has to mean that, maybe "chill out" is the better way to go with this one. Thanks :)

agree	HannesFuria : this sounds like a youth talking, so "chill out" is correct in this context. in any case, it is slang spoken and the translation is correct. 1 day 4 hrs
	Thanks HannesFuria
