bloody

British English equivalent to the American English swear word 'fucking'. It must be noted, however, that in Britain and Australia 'bloody' is considered to be much less offensive than 'fucking' is in America.

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, its origins lie in a reference to the aristocratic rowdies of the Restoration (i.e., those of noble or aristocratic blood).
