an interjection of either amazed awe or sudden anger/despondency; from the terms, "Christ's wounds," and/or "Christ's blood," which were deemed sacreligious and so were shortened to "bloody;" "hell was added later to express the full extent of the emotion; originated in Great Britain

British term used to express anger, shock or suprise. Apparently translates into American as 'Dirty Hell'. Fucking yanks.

The British equivalent of our terms of anger, surprise, etc.

Such as: "Oh, my God!" "Holy shit!" "What the fuck?!" "Whoa!" "Damn!"

a phrase used by those in England, and certain other parts of the world including Australia

and if you're around someone who says this long enough, you'll start saying it. it's a catchy phrase

'Bloody Hell' doesn't mean exactly what it says, though. it's a less-vulgar way of saying fuck

A very famous line from Harry Potter. It is normally said by Ron Weasley.

"Bloody Hell" is an exclusively British phrase. It's a general exclamation, which can be used in many situations. You can use it to express shock, joy, shame, sadness... whatever.
But say it with a Scottish or English accent. It sounds weird when Americans say it

Slang term with varied uses, and different meanings depending on context. Used extensively in Australia as 1:mild surprise 2:angry shock 3:mild amusement at common trouble 4:general colourful phrase added to emphasise importance of comment

Alternatively British blasphemy related to Bloody Mary -- which says The Virgin Mary was not a virgin as in Mary was bloody from her ruptured hymen. Of course such a blasphemy means you are going straight to hell having denied Christ is God's son. Thus Bloody Hell refers to huge disaster and misfortune. This form is seldom the sense used today - but when it is there is an implication that the Church or Christianity or God is at fault.

The less controversial "Blood of Christ wounds" is the usual meaning which is merely bad in the sense of making vows without permission of a vicar and degrading their seriousness. Vows by the "Blood of Christ" were supposed to be reserved for the most serious of matters like going on crusade. In this case "Bloody Hell" is more shorthand for saying "by the Blood of Christ Wounds I swear it is as bad as if Hell itself has broken loose on Earth".

Typically English phrase, still used a lot today and personally my favourite saying. It's pronounced 'bloody ell'. Should not be used by any other nationality.
