It's one of those half swear words, sort of like 'hell' and 'bitch' are.
If small children are caught using them then they get a slap
(metaphorically speaking if you don't like that sort of thing) and told
not to do it again, but nobody really cares if adults do it.

To be honest, nobody that I know uses bloody anymore. The only people I
associate with that word are those posh London types with their rols
royces and bowler hats... The sort of people foriegners half-expect us
to be :D
