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

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

LeQueen, I was waiting for you to turn up since you're the only poster I know who uses bleddy. ([Hmm], I spend too much time on MN.)I had always assumed you were being posh, didn't realise it was a local thing!!! Grin

Its definitely not posh to use the word bleddy in Leicester..in fact its quite the opposite

Its not really a swear word ,like you say its just used for emphasis.My Mum and Dad never really swore when I was growing up, but they did say bleddy quite a lot.

cheesesarnie · 19/02/2011 14:40

Thanks usualsuspect! Learn something new every day! Grin

bupcakesandcunting · 19/02/2011 15:43

Bleddy is shit. Fecking is good enough for the inhabitants of Craggy Usland, therefore good enough for moi.

Also a Midlands dweller and have never heard it.

Psammead · 19/02/2011 16:11

I don't get 'bleddy'. It doesn't go with my accent whatsoever. I didn't realise it was regional. Blardy is also not my cup of tea.

I like feck though, but not fark.

Frak is the best

thebountymuncher · 19/02/2011 16:25

I think it's definately the rougher parts of Leicester it's mostly heard in (as a rougher-part dweller I consider myself allowed to say thatWink)

usualsuspect · 19/02/2011 16:34

aye up m'duck bounty Grin

Psammead · 19/02/2011 16:38

Oh now I get it! I can imagine how it sounds now. With a long, dark l.

Bleddy 'eck.

usualsuspect · 19/02/2011 16:39

No ,bleddy 'ell .... actually Grin

Psammead · 19/02/2011 16:41

Oh I might try to learn the accent. It's all funny and farmerlike.

thebountymuncher · 19/02/2011 16:42

Aye up me duck US Grin

I use it as in "get yer feet off me bllleddy sofa!"

thebountymuncher · 19/02/2011 16:44

My grandma uses it in a more calm way, like "ooh ey! That's bleddy smart int it, ey?!"

usualsuspect · 19/02/2011 16:46

I hear yer bounty ..I would use it to say 'what yer bleddy roaring for now' you bleddy mardy arse Grin

Psammead · 19/02/2011 16:50

OracleInaCoracle · 19/02/2011 17:14
