The word bless is used variously depending upon the situation.
1.Bless is commonly used when somebody sneezes because apparently when a person sneezes their soul is trying to escape their body (which is obviously a load of bullshit) Saying "bless you" when somebody sneezes is just a mark of politeness, more like having manners.
2.In England "bless" is genuinely often used instead of saying "aww" This often confuses a lot of my American friends.
3. Again in England "bless" is also used sarcastically in a patronising manner. Some may find this funny or annoying, depending upon their humor but sometimes the phrase "Bless your cotton socks" is over used which makes people punchable.
