A chinwag is a friendly, informal conversation — a chat about nothing very heavy. You have a chinwag with a neighbour over the fence; you chinwag for half an hour on the phone. It is British and warm, not a business word and not an American word. You can use it as a noun (a good chinwag) or as a verb (we chinwagged all afternoon). The joke in the making of the word is that your chin wags — moves about — while you talk. Though actually, it is slightly old-fashioned even in Britain now, the sort of word a parent or a sitcom might still enjoy. Keep it for talk with friends, never for an essay or a meeting.
