“chuffed doesnt mean what you think it means”

it means exactly what i think it means its just some stupid word that literally has two definitions that mean the opposite thing

what the hell

This makes me really chuffed

This post is quite egregious

Well I’m nonplussed by this whole post.

goddamnit.

all of you go to hell

And you wonder why i am boggled at times

These are called contronyms! A word that is its own opposite.

Why the fuck do these exist

They exist because they start out meaning one thing, people confuse them with another similar word or get confused about non-literal uses or uses in certain ambiguous contexts and start thinking they mean the opposite, then if enough people use and understand it in the new way the word really has that meaning, because use is the only authority on language. But if people are also still using and understanding the word in the original way, it still has that meaning, too.
