bloody
意味: Covered in blood; (British informal) used to express annoyance or emphasis
Bloody has two distinct meanings. Literally, it describes something covered with or involving blood. In British English, it's also a common mild swear word used for emphasis, expressing frustration or strong feeling. While considered impolite in formal settings, it's widely used in casual British speech.

ストーリーと豆知識
As a British expletive, 'bloody' may derive from 'by Our Lady' (a reference to the Virgin Mary), or from aristocratic 'bloods' who were rowdy young men in the 17th century. It was once considered highly offensive but has softened considerably over time.
