Chuffed is one of my fav British words

I like that it means 2 things that are literally the opposite

I suggest “bedazzled” as the correct word

All the americans kids growing up on Bluey will be saying "chuffed" and "rubbish bin" and "wackadoo" in no time

nathannelson.bsky.social•119 days ago

That's OK. You could also use

made up
well pleased
over the moon
tickled pink
a happy camper
like a pig in shit

Chuffed is a favorite of mine and I think we should steal it from the British.

Proud

Chuffed doesn't map directly onto "proud", you can be chuffed without being proud, it's a mix between moderate excitement and and joyful "smugness" but not in a negative way ig

Chuffed has more cocker-spaniel-jumping-up-and-licking-your-face energy. Or Kool Aid wall-busting vibes. More fuck-yeah-osity. One beams with pride, like a lighthouse. One is chuffed like, I dunno, the Looney Toons Tasmanian Devil.
