[Vocabulary] Anyways

what is the meaning of chill here...
"Hi.I see your interview didn't go too well. Well, you have got 2 more,right? Do well in those. And who knows? Maybe the result of the first one might turn out positive. Anyways chill"

How acceptable is the usage of "anyways" and "chill" here ?

"Chill" is slang for "relax" or "remain calm."

If you want them to relax or remain calm.

This speaker of BrE considers 'anyways' to be non-standard English.

Me, too. I like it better than "anywho."

It's definitely non-standard. But it's definitely used.

The sentence could use a comma. (And some compassion!)

I consider it non-standard but colloquial. You don't hear it much in BrE. I agree that it needs a comma. I would write:

- Anyway, chill!
- Anyway, relax!

I have always thought that was spelt "anyhoo" and was a non-standard version of "anyhow". Live and learn.

It is spelled both ways. Neither is considered acceptable.

Thanks . Just to be clear, when you mentioned about compassion were you talking about the whole quotation or just about "Anyway,chill". Is the sentence "Anyway,chill" inappropriate to say to someone who had had a bad day.

I have no idea what the relationship is between the people.

If it were me, I'd prefer to hear "I'm sorry you're so upset but let's hope for the best" instead of a statement that says "Get over it."

But this is a language forum, not a counselor's office for relationship building.
