blooming heck
Mild English oath
Blooming heck is a mild British exclamation of surprise, frustration, or emphasis.
Both words are euphemistic softeners—blooming for bloody, heck for hell—making this a doubly sanitized oath suitable for polite company: Blooming heck, I forgot my wallet.
It sounds old-fashioned and slightly quaint.
