The swear word 'Bloody' is a corruption of 'By Our Lady' so yes it is a swear word. Maybe surprisingly, the F-word is not a true swear word, but is just rude!!

A true swear word is one based on the Bible, therefore 'Jesus Christ' and 'Oh My God' are real swearing, but 'You are a f*****g c**t' is simply rude.

(I wonder which ones will be censored.)
