The word 'bloody' is used as a swear word in Britain and other English speaking countries, Australia, New Zealand etc. It is meant to emphasis or shock and originates from describing something gruesome and covered with blood. If a dog was barking too loudly you may say 'Listen to that bloody dog.'. The words 'Bloody Hell' are used in a reactionary way. Let's say you heard an explosion which surprised you. You would then say 'Bloody Heel. That was loud.'

A.rse is simply your buttocks, the Americans call it @ss.

'Blimey' is short for God blind me. as an expression of surprise or emphasis like 'Blimey, look at the price of those apples.'

Old son is more of a London saying and used in a mock friendly way when talking to someone in a familiar way. Let's say you are trying to sell a car to someone you may say ' Come on my old son. Let's take it for a test drive.'

We also say 'mate' to signify a friend.
