Slang term in the UK, Australia and some other Commonwealth countries. Very, very common. Is NOT the alternative to "fucking" because it is more in the range of offense to "damn".
Used before a word to make it more angry, appealing, exaggerative, etc.

Archaic swearword originating in England, originating from the even more archaic phrase 'By God's blood', but nobody really knows that or cares. DOESN'T mean 'fucking' you screwheads.. We use that word too!
"Bloody buggering hell!!"

very mild swearword used mainly in Uk but also very common (I am told) in Austrailia. Can be used before or in the middle of words/phrases to emphasize meaning - be it good, sarcastic or bad. It really does sound silly when americans say it - think about it, it's the equivalent to a brit saying 'mall' or 'nimrod' It's just not right. try saying some of these in an american accent for amusment (really no offence look at brit's saying sidewalk and math - equally amusing!).
fan-bloody-tastic (sarcasm)
bloody good idea (well done! good thinking)
Oh bloody hell (damn)
have a bloody good birthday (happy... or vaguely evil)
too bloody right (in agrement)
or my personal favourite 'abso-bloody-lutely' (yeah innit)

Has nothing to do with "by gods blood", its simply rooted in the German "blöd" which means stupid/silly

When utilized as an adjective, shows distress regarding subject that follows. Often used by individuals with early English upbringings or influenced by the Brits in town.
