Why do alot of Americans think people in England say bloody every two seconds?

Question

Its annoying!

Answer 1

I know they watching to much old English programes. Pure stereotypes. They have funny images of the UK.

Answer 2

Americans with a parent who have Irish roots may say that too.

I am guilty of it, but I figure its a good way of adding some sarcasm or "hardness" to what one is saying without using the way-too-over-used "f'ing" that so many people do.

If someone is looking for a way to "hardness" or sarcasm to what he/she is saying he/she will probably realize the available words are profanities, "bloody" and "bleeping" (which is too cute for certain circumstances).

People who care about the quality of the English language (whether they're in England or the U.S.) tend to prefer not to include profanity when expressing themselves in usual circumstances. Some people were taught the saying, "Profanity is the weapon of the weak" - so they use "bloody".

If you go to a local high school or shopping mall and listen to how often so many Americans use "f-ing" you'll probably find "bloody" a far more appealing way to express what it is intended to express.

Answer 3

Americans make sweeping generalisations of cultures. It's like the way people assume Australians all say G'Day - it helps them work out what country they're (supposedly) from. All cultures do it to a degree though

Answer 4

cause americans are bloody stupid and are so culturally inferior to the british.
