2. chuff (noun): a surly or boorish fellow. chuffed (adjective): disgruntled; chuffiness (noun): boorishness; chuffy (adjective): coarse and surly.
3. chuffed (adjective): very pleased.
So, I think we can safely say that CM was a chuff (2) and ALW was also guilty of chuffiness (2), while BH was always chuffy (2). Because although Jessie chuffed (1) on stage, Jodie, in the end, was chuffed (3), as were all her fans.”

I'm so chuffed. This is fab!!!
I'm so glad she didn't say this:
Chuffed: Adj. Pleased, delighted. Compare with 'dischuffed' and 'chuffed to buggery'. E.g."I'm well chuffed at the result." [1950s]
GN: How do you feel about winning Jodie?
Jodie: I'm chuffed to buggery at the result!!!
