MardyBum66 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Ta. So... "chuffin' 'ell" would be connected to the non-delighted definition, correct? No idea. That's why I brought up the subject in the first place! Now I'm beginning to wish I hadn't.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 would you like to get banned for saying it? i imagine it's a term of endearment/chastisement , "OOh u little chuff", not quite as caustic as some modern 4 letter words of choice. You've probably seen me post stuff like "for chuff sake" a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrtle Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 now, chuff is supposedly a bit "beyond the pale" (Talk note*don't get mardy with me for saying this! ) But, in an episode of Steptoe and Son, I well remember it being used by the father (albert) who was complaining about being thirsty, and he said "I'm as dry as a sheep's chuff!" I'll leave you to surmise what he was referring to. I think it means 5 day old sheep manure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramall_Lane Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (does anyione remeber using "essent" for excellent? )YES! I used to say "essent" all the time! I'm trying to revive it, so I've started saying it again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
