[Ads-l] chill

[Joel Berson]

"Moderate" seems not far from "cool off".

Toya Graham, the Baltimore mom widely shown whacking her son for taking
part in Monday's riot, tells CBS "I spend  lot of time chillin' my son."

Several of his friends, she says, have been killed, so she tries to keep
him in the house.

'To restrain or moderate.'
