it's skin-crawlingly bad, even worse than "fecking" and "farking"

you sound like Prince Philip. That's bad. Stop it.

it's part of the vocab in nottingham too.
we have
bogger (instead of bugger)
bleddy (as well as bloody (which is pronounced bluddy)
blumming (like blooming)

thebountymuncher · 18/02/2011 16:41

Yep, used a bleddy lot in Leicester.

usualsuspect · 18/02/2011 16:42

I have only ever known one poster to use it on here ..it always makes me smile when she does ,because its such a locally used word for me

bibbitybobbityhat · 18/02/2011 16:42

pmsl, just put bleddy in Advanced Search since 1st Feb Hmm.

stiflersmom · 18/02/2011 16:42

anyhoo this regional thing is a red herring

you don't see all the Londoners typing "bladdy"

it's dreadful

Well I bleddy like it and I'm going to use it in all my posts tonight

BottleOfRum · 18/02/2011 16:44

I have to use words like feck and bleedy and all sorts of those ones because our work email picks up swear words automatically and you get in trouble for it. I get so used to writing out 'fecking' all the time that I start to intersperse it in my speach too. Apologies.

ethelina · 18/02/2011 16:44

I think its swearing however you spell the bastard word if the intention behind it is the same. I just use bloody and have done with it.

stiflersmom · 18/02/2011 16:45

ok have run the search as suggested and now see your point

sorry lequeen!

NOT intentional, but I do loathe the word.

thebountymuncher · 18/02/2011 16:45

Blush I've just advanced searched.
It appears I've used it once at least.

ethelina · 18/02/2011 16:45

Feck just reminds me of Father Jack.

BottleOfRum · 18/02/2011 16:48

haha bibbity, I see what you mean about advanced search, I just did it too - seems its predominantly LeQueen having a great time bleddy-ing around everywhere!!

FoundWanting · 18/02/2011 16:48

Looks like it is just one poster's affectation then.

There is special dispensation for these cases (see Deemented's use of Manshape). Grin

justcarrots29 · 18/02/2011 16:51

I believe whole heartedly that there is a place for the word 'fecking'. It is somewhere between 'heck' and 'fuck' and I personally love it.
YAB FECKING U Smile

What I really hate it 'ass' instead of 'arse'.

Sassybeast · 18/02/2011 17:01

Yep - feck is a good sunstitute when the F word is just a bit too extreme.

'Bleddy' reminds me of bosom hoisting, tweed wearing vicarish wife matronly types.

Bogeyface · 18/02/2011 17:03

Dont start on the manshape thing, that really does get on my nerves!

stiflersmom · 18/02/2011 17:05

ah, now with manshape I know the reasons and so I just squint quietly to myself and don't complain

"bleddy" though, I don't know why it grates on me so much but it really really does!

5DollarShake · 18/02/2011 17:07

I get the impression some people consider being compared to Prince Phillip a good thing. Hmm Grin

atswimtwolengths · 18/02/2011 17:23

SO glad someone's brought this up!

I really, really hate it and "blardy" too - what the hell is that about?

Why do people do this?

One thing I used to hate on another forum was when people were being twee and would say "I is" - made me grind my teeth.

stiflersmom · 18/02/2011 17:40

blardy is awful too, but not as bad as bleddy

OP posts:
usualsuspect · 18/02/2011 17:46

Its a bit weird to hate a bleddy word

BigHairyLeggedSpider · 18/02/2011 17:47

Bleddy Blardy, farking....

All shit.

Fooking I like because it sounds northern
Fecking is my favorite word.

I know it's not swearing but Om nom nom makes my eyes bleed.. I don't want to SEE the sound of someone eating. Fuck OFF with your Om nom fucking nom.

HowFuckingRude · 18/02/2011 17:48

Out of respect to the OP I have namechanged.

OracleInaCoracle · 18/02/2011 17:56
