My word today is chuffed. According to my weighty tome, The New Oxford Dictionary of English, it originated in the 1950s from chuff meaning plump or pleased.
It’s a word I love and associate with The Midlands/ North of England rather than the south. The saying, I’m dead chuffed, or right chuffed sums up its meaning of being pleased.
Do you have a word or phrase meaning you’re pleased where you live? I’d love to hear from you.

And so you should be right chuffed, as you should be right chuffed at getting a cataract doneBarbara

Love the word chuffed. And you definitely should be feeling chuffed to be going to the Liverpool festival with The Clocker. 😄

It’s a great word, Liz. I googled alternatives and ‘tickled pink’ came up.
I definitely prefer chuffed.
