Proud as Punch!
This is a common expression that means that we feel very pleased about something that has happened. People think that the word 'Punch' is a reference to the puppet character from the 'Punch and Judy show'. Punch was a bit of a bully who would always feel proud of himself when he did something naughty. These days the expression 'Proud as Punch' has a good meaning referring to the feeling one has when something goes well.
We decided to use the expression 'Proud as Punch' when we were thinking about the All Black's victory at the Rugby World Cup.
