Today, I saw a sentence: WHERE THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU?!
It's a little bit suprise for me to see BLOODY and HELL in the sentence in Austrilian travel advertisement. I know the whole sentence's meaning, but what does BLOODY & HELL do here? It seems that they aren't good words. Why they appear in advertisement?
Let me find what happened.
