This is complicated for me to explain đąđ but I will try!
When you say âa chill ran down his spineâ, it means that something made the person uneasy. When you give someone the creeps, you make them feel uneasy overall - everything within them says not to trust you.
When someone has a chill down their spine, you can kind of think of it as them feeling cold travel through their body. That is a chill (noun), but to feel that experience is the chills.
In English, we donât say that someone has a creep (a creep is what we call someone who is creepy â> âthat guy is such a creep!â Vs âhe gives me the creeps.â)
Example
Youâre walking alone at night and you see someone nearby who looks sketchy (like trouble). A chill travels down your spine and you get the chills (the hair on your arms/neck stands up, you get goosebumps... the effect is plural, it encompasses multiple parts of your body).

@SamSanderson thanks!

@overrunie well... sometimes people can say âI just got chillsâ and itâs ok. But 9/10 the âtheâ is necessary, and so I think itâs better to stick with using âtheâ.

@SamSanderson "it sent a chill down his spine"
does that also have to be "it sent the chills down his spine"?

@overrunie no, that sentence is fine. The difference is that that sentence can use âaâ because âchillsâ has been made singular

@SamSanderson hmm, i wonder why is it okay to use "a chill" when 'to give somebody a chill' is wrong. can you explain that to me?
