"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.
