Guevara01 Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 Hey guys, Could anyone tell me whether or not they know if 'bloody' is slang or a colloquialism? Thanks. xxx
Frankie Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 Slang is artifically created language ...colloquialisms are things which are used over time...I think Mercury girl might know as she is our language expert...but I dont think it is slang.
MarMar Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 Bloody: BrE, Taboo, slang. A swear word that many people find offensive that is sued to emphasise a comment or an angry statement. (Oxford Advanced Learner's dictionary, 7th edition) As the Oxford collocations Dictionary does not have it as a collocation, I don't think you can find other words that are so closely conneted to it as it would be colloquialism.
MarMar Posted March 26, 2006 Report Posted March 26, 2006 Thanks everyone xx Hope it was to some help, at least.
Dean Posted March 27, 2006 Report Posted March 27, 2006 I'm having trouble finding evidence for a topic. (sites, pictures etc) I have to say why society outcasts disabled people, whether it be mental, intellectual or physical. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
