While you're at it, Guy, can you explain the origin of one of my
favorites... "gobsmacked"?

Chuffed = Happy, pleased.
As in: "Well chuffed", "chuffed to mint balls"
or,
As in: "Chuffin' Nora!" an exclamation of surprise. Usually, but not
restricted to, a happy unexpected event.
or,
As in: "Chuffed out" fatigued in a happy way (read into that what you
will!) As in, "Give me 10 minutes before we start again, I'm chuffed out."
Does no-one speak English any more???? (LMAO)
===============================
Thanks, Guy.
You folks from England sure do speak English funny.
Now I'm LMAO.
