From the on-line "The Very Best of British; an American's guide speaking British"--
http://www.effingpot.com/slang.shtml

"Chuffed - You would be chuffed to bits if you were really pleased about something"

(It would be interesting to be able to track the linguistic history of a word like that en route to Australia!)

Maybe Kerrin can tell us more when she gets up! I'm assuming that she might still be in bed after having seen the New Year in "down under!" Didn't want to leave you all in suspense until she can get back to post!

P.S. The above link has some other fun terms which Americans might find "interesting!" Enjoy! ;) :D
