It seems to have been shortened over the years as people used to say 'chuffed to bits' to expresses happiness!
One of my favorites! (another being "manky/mankie" - pronounced like "hanky" - which as near as I can tell means nasty and/or stinky). No, we have hour own random terms over here, like "psyched" and "pumped."

PS: no idea about the dao, but the others' comments sound convincing. I only note that the fuller appears routed out, as you can see the wobble from the rotating bit.
