And if they are cursing, why don't they take the time and imagination to use a bloody real curse?

Depending on who you believe, it's either short for "God's Blood" or "By Our Lady." Technically, that would make it sacrilege as well as swearing.
A friend of mine says that "bloody" has lost some of its shock value over the years but that it's still not something you'd necessarily want to say to the Queen.

Apparently, it's derived from the phrase "By our Lady". In other words, it's a way of saying, "Mother of God".
