I've used all of those except wheeliebin, which I've never run across before.
Ain't no shame in borrowing good slang, and that's something brits do extremely well imo. It's usually easy to use, rolls off the tongue, and sounds just silly enough.
I'm right chuffed about it
Amusingly, wheeliebin isn't even slang, it's just what we call them. Like if we've had extreme winds, you might see news anchors talking in their pish, RP British accent about how people have had their wheelie bins flying away
Edit: chuffed is a good one. It feels good to say. It's more than just saying "I'm pleased with myself", because there's an earnestness to it.
Newsreaders haven’t had to talk in RP since at least the 70s or something. They’re all pretending to be regular middle class now, even if they still went to Oxbridge.
Keep it simple. You're chuffed about it. Not "right chuffed" otherwise you're over-egging it.
Don't forget the antonym "narked".
That's a new one to me! Thanks, I really do love discovering new words :)
You can say reet chuffed or dead chuffed.
