alternatively british blasphemy related to bl–dy mary — which says the virgin mary was not a virgin as in mary was bl–dy from her ruptured hymen. of course such a blasphemy means you are going straight to h-ll having denied christ is g-d’s son. thus bl–dy h-ll 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 g-d 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 “bl–dy h-ll” is more shorthand for saying “by the blood of christ wounds i swear it is as bad as if h-ll itself has broken loose on earth”.
