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.
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.
Pleased
Up the chuff = good, down the chuff = bad
“Chuff” in the context of rock climbing = bad, made an effort but didn’t get very far / fell a lot
I have the same reaction to nonplussed
So you’re chuffed about it?
