 (più o meno 'maledetto questo maledetto quello').
intendi "bloody"? "blooding" esiste. (e' quello che fai a qualcuno
che partecipa alla caccia alla volpe per la prima volpa, mi pare
di ricordare.)

di ricordare.)
eh appunto, sě, quello.
sentivo 'bleedy' oppure 'bleeding' invece che 'bloody'.

 >Joeva:nnee Neema:n
O usi "bloody" o usi "bleeding" , davanti ad un sostantivo o aggettivo
entrambi hanno il significato di "dannato(amente)"
"fottuto(amente)" ....
 se poi "bleeding" sia più eufemistico di "bloody" non saprei, credo
siano entrambi meno volgari di "fucking".
 "Blooding" ovviamente non potrebbe esistere visto che "blood" non è
un verbo. Il significato letterale dell'uno è "insanguinato" o
"sanguinario" dell'altro è "sanguinante" "sanguinolento".
Adesso cerco perché si usano come interiezioni.
Ciao

You blood the hound, not the hunter.

 You blood the hound, not the hunter.
What's the thing where you smear blood from the fox on the new
hunter's face?

 You blood the hound, not the hunter.
secondo wikipedia: (fox-hunting)
A number of social rituals used to follow the hunt. One of the most
colourful was the act of "blooding." This is a very old ceremony in
which the master or huntsman would smear the blood of the fox or
coyote onto the cheeks or forehead of a newly initiated hunt follower.
Some conjecture that the ceremony goes back to the similarly stylized
medieval hunting of the high middle ages. By 2000 the practice had
largely been abandoned [3] though some say it continues to this day
[4].

Oh! I didn't know! Well, it's not used as an intensifier for
adjectives though, is it? :-)

It's not uncommon for owners of hounds to "blood" them by releasing a live
animal such as a rabbit when the hound has been deprived of food for a time,
so that the hound will kill the rabbit and eat it, and thus develop a taste
for blood. This practice is illegal, but the fact that there are laws
against it shows that it is still a problem. The quaint practice of smearing
humans with the blood of their first fox is a later development, restricted
to one small quaint social class which, knowing it lacked the heroic
qualities of either hound or fox, attempted to bestow upon itself some false
heroic quality through this blood ritual.
The blooding of hounds is universal among hunters.

"sanguinario" dell'altro è "sanguinante" "sanguinolento".

So both hunters and hounds can be blooded, is what we seem to be
saying here.
I didn't know one, and you didn't know the other.

Dogs have been blooded for many thousands of years, so that their taste for
blood would assist their masters in the hunt. Silly men in tights imitate
the blooding of the hound with a farcical ritual and pretend to be blooded
even though they have never killed an animal in the hunt. One is a poor
imitation of the other.

Beagles are a very common hunting dog in the US, and when I was growing up,
I often saw young Beagles "blooded" with the body of a recently-killed
rabbit whose body was still warm.
Joe from Massachusetts


But the same word is used for both.
