Pleased as Punch – This lovely British Saying has origins in the popular Punch and Judy puppet show in England. It has a similar meaning to “Chuffed to Bits” and translates as, “very pleased with or very happy with something”. In the original puppet show the lead character, Punch, was known for being very pleased with  his evil deeds, hence the British Saying, “Pleased as Punch”.
