Chuffed is slang for very pleased in the UK. More specifically it’s when something good has just happened to you that’s causing you to grin uncontrollably like a lunatic.
As my crude father would say: “I’m chuffed to buggery!”
Although buggery is a bad thing on its own, when combined with chuffed it’s like a +1 enchantment instead.
It’s mostly delighted or pleased, although it can occasionally mean the opposite, especially in the military. I believe it started off as “proud.” This bunny is delighted and proud of his new rug.
I’m amazed he knows how to use a litterbox and not just poop everywhere. That’s probably how he earned his nice rug!
I get confused every time I see the word “chuffed” because i have no idea if becoming chuffed is a good or bad thing.

Especially when someone gets “chuffed to bits”
It’s the most negative-sounding positive word, isn’t it?
How droll.
A very British trait.
Up the chuff = good, down the chuff = bad
Satisfied. Smug but not in a negative way.
I have the same reaction to nonplussed

Apparently it’s a thing you can train them to do with a bit of effort. You cna train some birds too.
“Chuff” in the context of rock climbing = bad, made an effort but didn’t get very far / fell a lot
So you’re chuffed about it?
