This is s test post, my last seems to have vanished!
Naw, them's mostly new English!

"Bloody" goes back to the late 17thC though, rowdy young aristocrats were called "bloods" and to be likened to them could be an insult in lower social classes. It has been used, fraternaly, in American gang culture has it not?
Thinking of "scallion", "skillet", "settle"and others that have been lost or changed meaning and pronounciation back here. Though, with "Internetese" some of those are changing. Pity.
