I've heard that it's used all the time in Europe. Yet the word "bloody" is considered a pretty harsh swear over there. Language is funny like this. In 15 years or less "cunt" will be said on cable TV in America like it was damn. The same thing has been happening with the word "shit." "Bitch" is even more acceptable than "shit" these days. Words that were considered swears in the 70's and even 80's are almost laughed at these days. Language changes. "Cunt" just happens to be considered one of the major no-no's at the moment.
Bloody is a pretty commonly used word in the UK. Not really offensive unless paired with swearing words.
Bloody hell...
