Talk:bleedingly

Latest comment: 4 years ago by Soap

Is this ever used without the word obvious immediately following? I suspect yes, but I suspect it is not *commonly* used outside this context, and that this would be better listed as an atomic phrase bleedingly obvious, which i suspect is a vulgar derivative of blindingly obvious just as bleeding edge may have once been a vulgar variant of cutting edge.

Oh, right, I also meant to say I dont think this is a British specific term ... it certainly has no relation to the most British of all words, bloody. Soap 14:03, 27 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
