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

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

I ride in Berkeley and all of the East Bay... it's not uncommon to get chuffed 
several times each day. And as well, to hand out chuffs to fellow Riv riders I 
see. We are part of a not-so-secret not-so-subterranean society, that 
recognizes and embraces, through use, ownership, and promotion, the reverence 
of good things that work simply, and that simply work.
