Proud, or pleased as Punch means very satisfied with oneself. Punch, from the puppet show Punch and Judy ("Pontius and Judas"), is a strutting, quarrelsome, hook-nosed comic character. Although associated with Pontius (Pilate), the name is from Punchinello, which probably derives from the Neapolitan Italian dialect polecenella meaning a young turkey cock.
