Very pleased or satisfied; delighted.
British: very pleased or proud, usually about a personal win. "Chuffed to bits" is the maxed-out form — over the moon. Often delivered with a small smile rather than a grin, matching the restrained British tone.
Something is chuffed coded when it radiates quiet, understated British satisfaction — an aesthetic or personality that's perpetually pleased but too reserved to make a fuss about it. Think cable-knit jumpers, a perfectly brewed cuppa, allotment vegetables that came out better than expected. Chuffed coded things don't boast; they just sit there looking quietly self-satisfied in a very Northern English sort of way. You know it when you see it.
Chuffed energy is the warm, quietly glowing vibe someone gives off when they're genuinely pleased about something but too British to make a big deal of it. It's a specific frequency of understated contentment — the subtle chest-puff, the barely-contained smile, the casualness that isn't quite casual. Someone with chuffed energy has definitely already texted their mum about it. Spaces can have chuffed energy too: a neat garden, a tidy kitchen after a dinner party, a pub that just got a good review in the local paper.
Chuffed mode is the sustained, beaming state of British satisfaction that kicks in after something goes really right — a promotion confirmed, a parcel arriving early, a roast that actually turned out perfectly. It's not a flash of happiness; it's a whole settled disposition of quiet pride and contentment. When someone's in chuffed mode, they've got a small smug smile they can't quite suppress and probably keep bringing up the thing that made them chuffed in slightly different ways for the rest of the day.
