chuffed adj, Brit colloq very pleased.

Chuffed, along with bollocks, is one of the true joys of British English usage. It expresses a sense of satisfaction from a result or event turning out in a way that you probably didn't expect. There is a certain finality to chuffed: Britons tend to be "chuffed to bits" or "dead chuffed".
