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.
