Bloody Hell!

Hi sweetie,


So many questions to answer...you have been studying hard, haven't you?
OK three points to cover today.
1) wifey is not really a word, but it is a nice nickname for you, but hubby (husband) is a real word and is used a lot.

2) As you will have noticed a lot of people say "Bloody hell", or "Bloody hot" or "Bloody terrible." People say "bloody hell" when they are really surprised or shocked or pissed off (angry). When you put bloody before an adjective it emphasizes that adjective. So bloody hot means extremely hot and a bloody terrible movie is a really bad movie. You can even say "this is bloody good" for food etc. But it is actually a kind of swear word so it's good enough just to understand it, you dont have to use it, although you can if you want.

3) As you will have heard, "shocker" is very different to "shocking/shocked." Shocker means really bad, like "that joke was a shocker," and people also use it like this:

Bazza (Barry): Did you see that movie last night on channel 7?
Dave (David): Yeah, what a shocker!
Bazza: It was bloody terrible, wasn't it?
Dave: I just wish they'd show some decent movies sometimes.

OK get your next question ready!

See you tonight,

Love Al
