It's not as if what they're describing actually is bloody. And I don't really think being called "bloody awful" is any worse than being called "awful." Since it's not an insult, nor does it help in descriptions, what is the point? I suppose it's a synonym of the word "really" or "very."
Regardless, I can see it causing some trouble.
Let's set the scene: Late Tuesday night at the police department in the heart of London. The last remaining officer is gathering his belongings to return home. Suddenly, a man runs in panting with a panicked look in his eyes. "'ere's a bloke out 'ere wit' a bluddy knife in 'is 'and! One look at 'is face, and I knew 'e was trouble! I ran 'ere as fast as I bluddy could wit'out looking back." The man then faints. This presents the officer with a problem. He doesn't know if the knife was bloody, or the man was simply expressing his shock at seeing it. If he goes out and has a look around, then he'll be late for dinner, and will only further ruin his already failing marriage. However, if he doesn't, and the knife was really bloody from a murder, more innocent people could be killed before the night ends.
