Bloody Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
The word bloody is the adjectival form of blood but may also be used as a swear word or intensifier. In this context it is of lower intensity than fuck but stronger than damn. Some say it may be derived from the phrase "by Our Lady", i.e. a sacrilegious invocation of the Virgin Mary, although others regard this explanation as dubious. Another theory is that it simply comes from a reference to blood.Although once considered profane in the UK and Commonwealth, it has no particular significance in the United States. The use of bloody in adult UK broadcasting aroused controversy in the 1960s and 1970s but is now unremarkable, much as happened with fuck in the 1980s to 1990s.
Bloody has always been a very common part of Australian speech and has not been considered profane for some time. It is less intensive than damn in Australian English. The word was christened 'the Australian adjective' by The Bulletin on 18 August 1894. In the 1940s an Australian divorce court judge held that "the word bloody is so common in modern parlance that it is not regarded as swearing." Meanwhile, the Chamberlain administration was fining Britons for using the word in public.
