Chuffin 'ell.

I always thought it were a euphemism for the F word but in that context it makes.

Whatever it's one of those words common used but actually refers to something really obscene. Like 'bugger'.

I remember watching Rovers down south, might have been Barnet and a bloke shouts really loud "Chuffing 'ell ref!" Which caused much hilarity in the home end. They were all soon shouting Chuff! Chuff! Chuff!

My partner has just told me that ''colder than a penguins chuff'' is used a bit but not just in donny I wouldn't think

Now you mention it Syd, I've heard that phrase before.

I didn't realise it's a particularly Doncastrian thing. I knew it was northern, definitely. Yorkshire only, I'd guess. Perhaps just South Yorkshire, surely they use it in Barnsely?

I do hope it's a Doncastrian quirk. I'll use it more often now.

After a night in a hotel, a colleague (from Sheffield) asked me how I’d slept. I replied that I was ‘sock on’ by eleven.
He hadn’t a clue what I meant. Shocked, I asked the rest of the group if they knew what ‘sock on’ meant, and only those from Donny did!

Edit: that was before the days of google. I’ve just found this.
Who knew?

Wikipedia reckons chuff is British slang for buttocks and doesn't mention Doncaster.

I suppose if you fall on yer chuff, it means arse. It's just a really versatile swear word.

I take it when Hugh Lawrie says in Blackadder "I'll be chuffing along" he's talking about steam trains.

My mate’s lifetime ambition was to be run over by a steam train. When it finally happened he was chuffed to bits.

Lots of words have more than one meaning depending on context.

Are you winning? Seems peculiar to Doncaster probably related to Horse racing
