Chuffed
Apr 15, 2013 12:36:34 #
My cousin who is in the Navy and is deployed somewhere on a sub right now, posts a word a day on facebook. I always come up with a sentence for the word he posts. This word seems to be one that is used more by the British, than a word used by Americans. So..I was wondering if any of our British friends could come up with a sentence that would really bring some British flavor to it.

I am really chuffed that you take the time to look up the word I post daily on Facebook and make sentences around them, it makes my day to think you care enough to do that.

As my mother might say "She's chuffed to doll rags" when something good happens.

So chuffed means that you're pleased with something? It says the opposite on the internet.

it means pleased.
a steam train 'chuffing' along is a pleasant thing.
it's one of those words that has changed/reversed it's meaning in colloquial use.
avoid using the word chuff. it has a rather vulgar slang meaning in UK.

oops!
forgot: another horrid thing - chuffing can be a euphemism for, well, almost any swear word ending 'ing'.
use with care!

Never heard that one. I was chuffed to bits when I tried on my new daisies though.
