chivel

Verb.
To pay off a debt in a smaller denomination of currency than the loan was originally made in, thus leaving the creditor with small change where he once had a note.
Often the small change, if accepted by the creditor, disappears on trivial purchases before the full loan is re-paid, meaning he never really recovers the debt's full worth.
Tom: Here's 10p for you, Mike. Now I only owe you £19.90p.

Mike: Hey - I told you when I lent you the money that I wouldn't stand chivelling. The smallest I will accept are £10 notes.

Tom: Ok Mike, I'm sorry. I'll never chivel a debt again.

Drunk Chivalry

Refraining from having sex with a female while you are both suffering from the effects of overindulgence in alcohol. Most cases like that are usually described as brewer’s droop or beerdick. Perhaps the person who came up with the idea that this is down to morals, ethics or willpower should remember the old saying a standing cock has no conscience and leave the bullshit to the politicians.

Chinelo

Chinelo is a strong Nigerian girl. At first glance, she may seem like a b*tch, but once you get to know her, she's the sweetest girl. She never lets what people say get into her mind. She puts 100% effort into everything she does, and she is always trying to help someone out. Don't take her kindness for granted, because if you betray her, just know things won't be the same again. She is beautiful, strong, mature, and independent. But, she has a freaky side only her closest friends know of.
That's Chinelo, she's so beautiful, but i'm afraid to go talk to her.
