    This raises the question: what happens if you ask for that in Australia?

      “Blooming” is a minced curse version of “bloody”, which was considered pretty vulgar for quite a while (I remember a boy I knew being scolded for using it in the early '90s). These days it’s an intensifier but wouldn’t be censored. Probably wouldn’t appear in a picture book for young children but wouldn’t be out of place in a novel aimed at children.
