I'd known of the use of 'chuffed,' meaning delighted. 'Chuffed as chips,' caught me. My search led me to a delightful character - Blathers of Animal Crossing. He is an owl scholar. Blathers is an owl with brown feathers. His face is white and he has a yellow beak. His arms are wing shaped and he has yellow talons. His eyes are very big with small black irises. He also has big pink cheek circles on his cheeks. His belly appears to be checkered in diamonds with light brown and white squares. He wears a green bowtie.

He is the curator of the Faraway Museum, and when City Folk bring a donation to the museum, Blathers will tell you he is 'chuffed as chips.'
