But the words in the first post don't have bloody stuff in them. That's one of the things I don't get. Just don't tell me it's irony.fearfaoin wrote:We seem to be forgetting the "bloody" part:

annoyance toward the modified noun. It is similar to "damned" or
"freaking". Example: "The Bloody Inland Revenue takes all my money!"
I think this is the way Bloomfield was using it, not intending for the
"Bloody" part to actually be used. This is why I thought it would be silly
