What duz "bloody" meen?

Question

Is it just blood? or is it like stand for somthing like B.L.O.O.D.Y.? idk

Answer 1

The "blood" refers to the blood of Jesus Christ and thus the word can be considered blasphemous.

Of course it can be used in a literal way refering to a "bloody face" after an accident or fight, but mostly it is used as a curse word.

We christians consider the blood of Jesus the most precious thing ever spilt on the earth's surface. It was by this blood that our redemption was bought, our sins debt paid, our place in heaven secured and, most importantly, our relationship with Jesus provided.

Next, and every,time you hear that word remember Jesus and what He did for YOU. It will make a difference in your life.

Answer 2

No thought. What does "duz" propose? Or "meen" for that remember? perchance anyplace you got this from is approximately as stable at spelling as you're. it somewhat is the reason spelling is critical - if certainly everyone fails in this front, we lose intersubjective know-how completely.

Answer 3

like people have touched on - it can mean that something has blood (a bloody shirt) but it can be a swear word - like bloody hell. It used to be super offensive, but now it's considered mild.

"Some say it may be derived from the phrase "by Our Lady", a sacrilegious invocation of the Virgin Mary. The abbreviated form "By'r Lady" is common in Shakespeare's plays around the turn of the 17th century, and interestingly Jonathan Swift about 100 years later writes both "it grows by'r Lady cold" and "it was bloody hot walking to-day" [1] suggesting that a transition from one to the other could have been under way. Others regard this explanation as dubious. Eric Partridge, in Words, Words, Words (Methuen, 1933), describes this as "phonetically implausible". Geoffrey Hughes in Swearing: A social history of foul language, oaths and profanity in English (Blackwell, 1991), points out that "by my lady" is not an adjective whereas "bloody" is, and suggests that the slang use of the term started with "bloody drunk" meaning "fired up and ready for a fight".

Another theory is that it simply comes from a reference to blood, a view that Partridge prefers. However, this overlooks the considerable strength of social and religious pressure in past centuries to avoid profanity. This resulted in the appearance of words that in some cases appear to bear little relation to their source: "Crikey" for "Christ"; "Gee" for "Jesus"; "Heck" for "Hell"; "Gosh" for "God"; "dash", "dang" or "darn" for "damn"; "sprinkles" or "shoot" for "****"; "fick" or "fiddlesticks" for "****"; "witch" for "*****". These, too, might be considered implausible etymologies if looked at only from the point of view of phonetics. Given the context in which it is used, as well as the evidence of Swift's writing, the possibility that "bloody" is also a minced oath cannot be lightly dismissed. The suggestion that it originated as a reference to Jesus "bleeding" on the cross is compelling for its shock value, callousness and sacriligeous intent, just as the Irish, and those of the diaspora, will exclaim "suffering Jesus" in response to something shocking.

Although in the 1600s the word appeared to be relatively innocuous, after about 1750 the word assumed more profane connotations in the UK and Commonwealth. The use of bloody in adult UK broadcasting aroused controversy in the 1960s and 1970s but is now unremarkable (as can be seen by the fact that in the Harry Potter movies, which are geared toward children, the character Ron says "bloody hell" many times in all four movies).

The origins of the United Kingdom's objection to "bloody" may be in part due to the connotations of Bloody Mary, most commonly referring to a particularly divisive queen of England notorious for her violent suppression of anti-Catholic views."

Answer 4

in America, it is the state of being covered in blood, or involving alot of blood.

in Britain, and its commonwealths, it is something of a swear word, which I have heard used in much the same fashion as the Americans use the 'F-word' today

I have not been in the UK, so I am only passing on 3rd hand information, take it for what you will

Answer 5

Answer 6

It's a British curse word, I think it means something along the line of sh*t. Bollocks (or bollox) in it's worse form of a curse means a man's genitals.

Answer 7

Answer 8
