https://googlethatforyou.com?q=chuffed%20meaning

it super does not. just because you've been using it wrong doesn't mean it's suddenly developed a new definition.

Literally half a wheel scroll down on the very page you linked:
Overall, the word chuffed means satisfied or pleased, and it is an informal word. While this word can also be used in a negative way, the modern Brit will usually use it to mean happy or pleased. This word is of unknown origin.

i have literally never heard it used in a negative way except by non-brits who just assumed it had a negative meaning based on how the word sounds.

"A lot of people use it wrong, so therefore..."

no

anon i have brit relatives and i can assure you, that's how it's mostly used these days

anon i'm a brit and i've only ever heard "chuffed" used to mean "pleased" in 30+ years of living on this shitty damp rock

oh lol sorry i didn't make myself clear, that's what i meant! that's how people use it these days, not the other meaning

did you actually read this

"According to the OED, chuffed doesn't only mean 'pleased' but 'displeased' too, although I have to say that in my 34 years as a native English speaker from England I have never heard it used in this way, and were someone to do so around my parts I would expect it to cause a bally dose of confusion."

just because something is written online doesn't mean it's true, how have you all lived through 2016 and you still don't understand that people can post things on the internet that don't line up with reality

my angry friend, i posted it out of love for you, seeing that you were taxed by dictionarians (addressed in the first part) and not users of language (addressed in the second.)

needless pedant anon, you are truly the most annoying breed of anon.
