So

I can say that my spare tire is in my BOOT??

I know, but its not the same without the accent. Text doesn't do it for me.

bloody period, LOL nice aub!

Sowwy. but she said it

I said that with a bloody exclamation mark!

Technically, if you were on your period, wouldn't it be a Bloody bloody period, by God?

Haha!

I asked my dad, who i am working with tonight, he reckons it is something to do with an old queen, Mary I, who was nicknamed Bloody Mary. We think because she executed a lot of people. We could be wrong!

Girth. That's another one of my favorites.

They say it in Harry Potter,

So its gotta be "cool"

Oh no Dan, there is that word again...LOL

So now cool means "something said in Harry Potter"

like, depth?

Some say it may be derived from the phrase "by Our Lady", a sacrilegious invocation of the Virgin Mary. The abbreviated form "By'r Lady" is common in Shakespeare's plays around the turn of the 17th century, and interestingly Jonathan Swift about 100 years later writes both "it grows by'r Lady cold" and "it was bloody hot walking to-day" [1] suggesting that a transition from one to the other could have been under way. Others regard this explanation as dubious. Eric Partridge, in Words, Words, Words (Methuen, 1933), describes this as "phonetically implausible". Geoffrey Hughes in Swearing: A social history of foul language, oaths and profanity in English (Blackwell, 1991), points out that "by my lady" is not an adjective whereas "bloody" is, and suggests that the slang use of the term started with "bloody drunk" meaning "fired up and ready for a fight".

It has been said, however, that the offensive use of the word first came up during the Wars of the Roses when Royalty and nobility that is all those "of the blood" (meaning blue-blooded descendants of Charlemagne) wrought death and the most bloody destruction on England. Elizabeth I is also supposed to have used it when referring to her elder sister, Mary, due to her persecution of Protestants. Another thought is that it simply comes from a reference to blood, a view that Eric Partridge prefers. However, this overlooks the considerable strength of social and religious pressure in past centuries to avoid profanity. This resulted in the appearance or slang appropriation of words that in some cases appear to bear little relation to their source: "Crikey" for "Christ"; "Gee" for "Jesus"; "Heck" for "Hell"; "Gosh" for "God"; "dash", "dang" or "darn" for "damn" (though it bears noting that "darn" is a legitimate verb in its own right, and did not originate as a minced oath, despite the fact that its original meaning is now somewhat obscure and that it is most often heard as a slang euphemism for "damn" with the same apparent meaning of "to curse" as an antonym to the verb "salve"). These, too, might be considered implausible etymologies if looked at only from the point of view of phonetics. Given the context in which it is used, as well as the evidence of Swift's writing, the possibility that "bloody" is also a minced oath (or more precisely, a slang usage of an otherwise legitimate word masquerading as a minced oath, like "darn") cannot be lightly dismissed. The suggestion that it originated as a reference to Jesus "bleeding" on the cross is compelling for its shock value, callousness and sacrilegious intent, just as the Irish, and those of the diaspora, will exclaim "suffering Jesus" in response to something shocking.




There ya go, everything you wanted to and prolly didn't want to know about the term bloody. Brought to you by those cheeky bastards a wiki.

Oh GREAT! Be sure and tell him ALL that I just said as Connie leaves a lasting impression on MR Dan

Old queen in England is also a name for an effeminate male.

What in the Bloody Hell is going on? I just spent my quid on shagging an off colour barmy slow coach

Holy crap.

I haven't laughed this much since my ex wife caught her tit in a revolving door in a hotel we were staying in.

The Pilgrim fathers (1st people to emigrate to the New World from Britain ) came mainly from South West England. There are still similarities between the Bristol accent and the American accent.
