The evil is this way?

Ok, without giving away the substance of what Fay posted, she used the word "chuffed", which my American brain hasn't heard before. So, I looked it up on line -- at infoplease. And this online dictionary defines the term:

chuffed

Pronunciation: (chuft), [key]
—adj. Brit. Informal.
delighted; pleased; satisfied.

and

chuffed

Pronunciation: (chuft), [key]
—adj. Brit. Informal.
annoyed; displeased; disgruntled.

Well, that clears things up nicely.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I have never ever heard 'chuffed' used to mean displeased. Never. This is crazy talk.

Hey, all I know is what I read on the internets.

I think I may have heard an occasional "chuffed off". But chuffed still means pleased. It just does. And I'll chuff anyone who says otherwise.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Fay-- so TRUE and heartbreaking. Harry not only has his mother's eyes, he is a constant living reminder of the woman he loved and her love for another man. I am pleased for my ex-husband has kids whom he loves, but I think it would be personally difficult to be around them all the time. Especially if they didn't trust or respect me and my great sacrifices on their behalf.

What is even happening?

Oy, you've been away from our mentally diverse for too long, Narrator. You should have sussed that out, immediately.
