Chuffed to the muff

I saw this on Reddit earlier, copied from a genuine American article about “common British phrases” and it really made me laugh, someone was obviously pulling their leg! I’m so looking forward to using this phrase in the near future Grin

I saw that! I laughed out loud - I also cannot wait to use it!

@ChiefWiggumsBoy it’s so great, I feel up until now I’ve never been able to describe so accurately how I feel when I’m pleased with myself….

I've seen this on Reddit today too! I searched Bing to show a friend and you've made the second result, above the Reddit post. 🐼

Here's the source (4th result), it made me lol.

Let's snog???? Not used the word snog since the 90's

That's hilarious. WTF did readers digest get them from!?! Having said that it's quite a good phrase. I think if we all start using it it might catch on. Lol!

I skimmed over the article and still laughed out loud when I got to it even though I know it would be in there! The fact that it’s in readers digest makes it all the more funnier… I hope Americans start saying it after they’ve prepared a cream tea.

@hoggson I just searched and there’s a instagram post of a glamorous German woman out for a night to the opera who has used it as her caption 😂 Perhaps “chuffed to the muff” is a dodgy translation?!
