The British influence certainly had circled the globe.

There is a lot of British television programs broadcasted in the U.S., so the word and it's meaning is very familiar to most Americans. But outside of TV, using "bloody" this or "bloody" that is never heard being said by anybody, unless maybe somebody has roots in the UK.
