What does bloody mean?

"Bloody" refers to the blood of Christ on the cross. That is why it is unacceptable in polite conversation as a mere dismissive, like the f-word.Bloody can mean several things - here's what the Princeton online dictionary has to say:having or covered with or accompanied by blood; "a bloody nose"; "your scarf is all bloody"; "the effects will be violent and probably bloody"; "a ...extremely; "you are bloody right"; "Why are you so all-fired aggressive?"bally(a): informal intensifiers; "what a bally (or blinking) nuisance"; "a bloody fool"; "a crashing bore"; "you flaming idiot"I know a few people who constantly use the word and to me the word bloody is used like a replacement curse word so-to-speak. Its like when you get real angry at something but you don't want to curse like : darn, flip, shucks, shoots, frig that kinda a way like how my bloody computer is freaking out right now.

What is the grammatical name for a word within a word eg fan-bloody-tastic?

That is the fantastic English phenomena known as 'tmesis'.Tmesis is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is inserted into another word, often for humorous effect. The insertion may occur between the parts of a compound word, or between syllable boundaries (dystmesis).It is also referred to as tumbarumba, possibly due to the popularity of tmesis in Australian speech (Tumbarumba being an Australian town), or possibly due to the poem "Tumba Bloody Rumba" by John O'Grady, which includes several tmeses including "Tumba-bloody-rumba", "e-bloody-nough", and "kanga-bloody-roos".
