Not certain, but I think it is much more common in countries with historical British influence. In my experience, it's common in NZ and here in Oz.https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chuffedCheers,Andrew, a Yank in Oz

Felt chuffed "Chuffed?" I must have slipped even more generations behind on slang than I thought.

Rivendells of any sort are thin on the ground in my Midwestern home. Most of the guys I ride with are only vaguely aware of the brand. They do recognize my bike as an interesting curiosity. It's something that's at variance with the generally mountain bike-oriented bikes they own. So I've been pedaling along and simply enjoying the ride. Thus it was with a bit of personal pleasure that I heard another rider call out, "Hey, nice Riv!" as he cycled past this morning. I felt pretty chuffed, in a private sort of way, that a stranger recognized the bike and called it out. Did I need the "validation?" Well, maybe. Whatever. I must say that it was nice to hear.
