Your excitement is contagious ;-), I don't even know you and I feel all happy and chuffed.

Chuffed? andyleggett April 30 2008, 17:06:55 UTC

Do explain your strange words! (If it's good, I'll steal it...;D)

And yes, I do that. I'm far more infectious in person.

Re: Chuffed? crossthebar April 30 2008, 17:35:16 UTC

Adj. 1. chuffed - very pleased; "I'm chuffed to have won"

British use

Here in South Africa we are taught British English...

As opposed to Australian English? Isn't that one closer than Britian anyways...? ;P

But I really should have figured that from the context, oh well...

What would I say for 'chuffed'? The only thing I can think of is 'thrilled'...

Oh! We'd say 'stoked'. As in: I'm totally stoked, man!

Stoked, hey? It's a good word, I can just see the steam of enthusiam puffing from your ears ;-)

Re: Chuffed? andyleggett May 1 2008, 20:05:11 UTC

Yeah, we never really think of the images our colloquial expressions come from... 'chuffed' sounds like your stuffing something, or you're chugging...

Re: Chuffed? crossthebar May 1 2008, 20:08:34 UTC

I actually associate 'chuffed' with that happy noise dogs make when they are pleased..bwhahaha ;-)

Re: Chuffed? andyleggett May 1 2008, 20:31:56 UTC

Naw, I can see that too...

Re: Chuffed? andyleggett May 1 2008, 20:34:55 UTC

Or should I say *hear*... (Professors dogs are always running through my department...)
