We are chuffed….

Due to the tireless work of our hand picked global network team, we now know the original origination (no -that is not a stutter typo) of the word ‘chuffed’. Here is just a sampling of those who belong to the Mullin Ponder research team. (sorry, you will have to scroll through the pictures before you discover the origin of ‘chuffed’.)

Our Global Team lit up the night sky as they worked around the clock to get us the answer we needed. True dedication.

Thank you Lego Land for the building blocks you provided (free of charge) to help us at Mullin Ponder in this particular quest. Children and adults throughout the generations will no doubt re-numerate your company by continuing to purchase Lego till the end of time.

There is a bright future ahead for this young’un.

All member of our Global Research Team are very ‘smart‘ (groan (like they need any more free advertising).

Famous French Detective Inspector Cluso. Glad that everything became clear Inspector ….eventually …. ( not the smartest sleuth in the shed)

Appreciate the work oh nameless one.

(Shhhh…………………… )

I think teddy had some good advice for Mr. Bean

Don’t mock the older generation re their lack of techno skills. (and you know who you are) Because this pic tells the true story.

I have no idea, but please go home.

I wonder if Q invented this one. NOT the guy. The shoe thingy, you fools!

We love you Claymation! Thanks for sticking together (feel free to groan again) throughout this tough challenge. You are so lovely and make us happy, happy, happy.

Sorry, no I.D. on this one, but pretty sure he’s male. Unless it is all part of her disguise.

We love this guy because he is still under the delusion that it is pretty cool to own this larger than life phone. (Just look at how happy he is.) Plus he has not allowed himself to be sucked into the the never ending world of ‘Must Have The Most Up-To-Date Version Now’ of communication gidgets.

(Note to self: must add gidgets to words that are not but should be.)

So all you ladies over the age of 50 will be glad to know Magnum P.I. is still on the job.

Sherlock, we really like your British TV Show. But can you make more than three episodes a year and keep Cumberbatch as the main dude, please? Thanks.

This pic just goes to show you can’t judge intelligence by good looks. Take that which ever way suits you. (I’m just sayin’)

Thanks also to Team Teenager. This was one of those rare occasions where your ability to text as fast as the speed of light was totally appropriate and socially acceptable.

Agatha taught Hercule how to really sleuth.

Groovy, baby! We love ya Austin.

People really came together as a team for us during this Mullin Ponder crisis. Forever grateful.

Women Power! Way to go girls. You did it.

Our French branch really deserved their usual three hour mid-day break this time.

Our team was willing to tap into all resources that were available in order to solve the dilemma of finding the origin to the word ‘chuffed’.

Congrats if you made it all the way here.

Here is the info that was unearthed: ‘chuffed’ The origin of this word is <puffed up with fat> as in <pleased> with oneself. I know! – it is beginning to all make sense. And that is what we do at Mullin Ponder. We make sense out of non-sense.
