“Bloomin’” is a (mostly) Southern English thing, a more mild and more polite substitution for “bloody”, which would come across as more aggressive. “I forgot to turn the headlights off, and now the bloomin’ car won’t start!”

American here. The word "blooming" will more likely than not evoke the image of either a flower opening up or the Blooming Onion appetizer from Outback Steakhouse a national chain restaurant here in the states.

Blooming is an archaic word. It isn't really a swear word, just a rather charming was of adding emphasis. Back in Victorian times people used it as a slightly more emphatic version of very. And it could be either positive or negative depending on the context. If you want to hear it used, watch Mary Poppins. Dick Van Dyke uses it in his role of chimney sweep. And of course his accent will crack you up.

Singing Patty makes me happy

Gilbert is bloomin' hilarious in this video!

Thank you Patty hearing your voice and seeing your smile that puts the sun to shame makes any kind of day better. Lucky is the person who hears your voice first thing in the morning and the last at night. You truly have a gift that can make a person light on their feet while humming or singing your songs. The same can be said at night, while relaxing, having a nap before bedtime. I am not the first, nor will I be the last to tell you " you are beautiful", you can be in a " T " shirt and jeans and look stunning, slip into a gown and heels the world will stop when you you walk into a room. Thank you for continuing to share your beauty and music not only with me but also the world,endless hugs from Alberta Canada.

Hello my young Patty! It's obviously you all are having too much fun! To me, you are a Celtic Goddess! Ever think of touring with the Celtic Women? Just a thought. Everything Celtic speaks to me and I love your Gurdy. Always thought that it spoke to me because I was told I was Irish. Did my genetics, apparently half of me is Scottish and Welsh. Rest is British Isles I guess. Lol Love seeing your process. That's more fun than a recording studio in the 80s when time is money. Love ya Patty. Peace. Stay safe. God Speed. 🍻❤️🤘

Here in England the word blooming can be either its true literal meaning or a swear word. It depends on the context in which it is used. For example if you say 'It was a blooming awful day' then it is clearly a swear word. On the other hand if you say 'This Spring was blooming beautiful' then it means blooming flowers even if the word flowers is not expressed.

Mesmerizing sound, Patty!!❤

Im sooo blown away by this song! I can imagine that Patty singing legendary Women of Ireland would sound heavenly

this was so damn great! cant wait for the album's release! good job patty! thanks for this musical journey!

Thanks for the interesting video - What you do is IMPORTANT We wish channel Patty Gurdy prosperity and wealth.

Back to the roots & folky af, folking hell I'm ready for this album, take me to the tavern Patty! Thank you for the laughs, the chaos, & the folking sneak peeks of your gorgeous songs! 🤣💚🎶💗🎙💚🎻💗👩‍🦰💚🔥💗🍻😊

Blooming days come, as an album name/ song name seems perfect, when I heard the name It felt like spring has come or is coming. Love your music patty.

Here in the United States, it just means flowers opening up. Unless we’re trying to be silly and say it with a British accent, then we’re copying it as more of an expletive. But that’s really really rare and probably only used by those of us that watch a lot of BBC.

i'm a nerd. i guess. i am atracted to this folking music! 😂🤟

excited for your new album!

Bloomin is not negative in Northern England. Enjoyed the harmonies Patty. Happy Beltane 🔥🔥

Gurdians are very ready here! 😁 Can not wait

I love the fun feeling you two have here. I may just save this video and watch it again whenever I need something to cheer me up.

Patty, you may call the video "chaotic", but I think "funny" is a better word 😉 You 2 are great!

It is amusing how serious you both are when creative, happiness inspires and new songs blossom - no not bloomin', not bloomin at all, just Pattyosis!

Great performance also in studio Patty, like! See you soon!

As a Canadian who was raised on a fair amount of British media, I'm definitely familiar with " bloomin' ", but it's really quite a mild oath, as they go.

Absolutely love, love, LOVE, anything you do! You're in touch with what we want! Sword earrings,, HA! Patty Nerdy Gurdy!

¡¡This will be folking spectacular!!👍🏻

As a Brit I’d see Bloomin’ Days Come as a portent for Spring, not swearing or cussing. It’s a great name for an album, go with it 🙂🤘🏼

I love it!

American - def blooming onion. The best! Absolutely positive connotation!

I love the folk out of this! Beautiful technique! Bloom away.

This is going to be a really great song. As an American in North Carolina, bloomin' is definitely a British thing and invokes that. Also bloomin' onions at Outback Steakhouse. And to a lesser extent, spring. The change you made was a good one but also this song is going to be awesome either way.

I really need to hear this full song now... That's beautiful

This kind of exemplifies the idea of the human voice as an instrument. That's one of the reasons I really like music in languages I don't speak (which is almost all of them...I still manage a bit of French in addition to English, but I'm so out of practice). Very interesting stuff. ps, Patty is so pretty, as usual, she's almost painful to look at in her radiance.

Das klingt schon wieder richtig Klasse 🎉

I have no idea what's about to happen, I'm digging it......

this video was folkin' hilarious!

folk hell is awesome ... always like watch you two make me laugh your sound man is awesome he funny two

Thanks for the nice video

American here, but I grew up in the "norf". Blooming was milder than bloody when I was a kid, but now it is just something a flower does.

Patty adoro seus videos e seu canal!! Faz lives?!💋💋💋

So schön 😍

I am am American of Germani heritage and absolutely love your musik. Can not wait for your new album.

Maybe it was my English lit degree, and too much BritBox, but my mind goes to "bloomin idjit" as well as Spring. Blooming is blossoming and a pretty word.

Dont dare to stop this :D

Just missed it - almost 0300 in Australia. Very gurdy in the morning here! _Yeah, blooming folk would sound a bit weird in Commonwealth English. =)_

Patty and Lindsay Sterling is the collab I've dreamed of since I first found Patty. SOMEBODY PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!

Stop! This isn't serious art! You can't be having this much fun and it be art, I don't care what my three and four year old nieces tell me! Now we know why you get up- you can't really wait to make what ever happen- thank you every day!

Gurdy in the morning sounds good to me.

BRIGHTER DAYS 🤩 sounds good 👌🏼 loving the clip looking forward to hearing this song 😍 . You would have gotten away with the word blooming 🌻🌹🌷 🤩. It's used in both statements , but probably not as much today , as there's stronger words used 😬 🫣

In the States it is used as you said, flowers "blooming".

Bloomin' in Texas is typically related to Bloomin' Onions from Outback Steakhouse and gardening. And you let yeast bloom before adding it to a dough mixture for breads.

Canadian here, "bloomin" is a Brit thing for us. When I was in England I was told "bloody" is worse than "damn" and you say "bloomin" to avoid saying "bloody." In Canada "bloody" isn't a bad word at all.

At least on the West Coast of America, "Bloomin'" has no negative connotations and would most likely evoke springtime feelings... though I've personally used "bloomin'" as a substitute for "bloody" of "folkin'" =)

This made me remember Celtic Women (if I remember right) - those nicely sounding "I dont understand a sh..." songs with celtic theme were always my favourite :)

Oh great the patty twins are back - like always if you see it (heat it) you realize what you missing 😂

I'll take crab with enormous human folking hands for 1000 please

Blooming, or more commonly with the g dropped, is a mild curse word in British English. However in the context of a title of a song etc., we would likely assume the flowery meaning

Blooming is a cuss word for something you hate with great passion!

FOLK IT OUT HARD!

Have you come across Martin Swan, he had a band called "Mouth Music" in the 1980's and has focused a lot on Scottish/Celtic folk music. Your vocal here reminded me of some of his work.

I can tell this album is going to Folking rock

How to attract a nerd? Step 1: Be Patty Gurdy. Step 2: Play a crazy instrument… Like Patty Gurdy does.

That beginning bit makes me wish so hard for a Patty Gurdy Halo 2 overture cover

more folking mouthmusic loved it!

If we were making fun of the ones that lost the war, we would say bloomin' in their accent.

Folk the British go with Blooming! 😆🤘

💚

It's just for the Brits. You do your thing.

I'm American. I don't associate 'blooming' with a negative context

Patty Gurdy Hurdy, is the sweetest, coolest girl, ever, even a little goofy, in a cute lovable way!

👏👏👏👏

The Irish is so powerful in the video, everyone watching just had four-leaf 🍀clovers sprout in their yards. 😮

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but what did you think of Norway and Estonia in this year's Eurovision? Because they both brought instruments similar to the hurdy gurdy, and I think both of them were FOLKIN' great. Especially Norway. (spoiler) Estonia's live audition was very shaky, but still, I am sad that they both got a low score.

Being an American, "Brighter Days Come" is good, or "Brighter Days To Come" would also be good.

"Bloomin" does mean damn, it's true but it's not used very much these days (people are more likely to say folkin' instead). Blooming is more likely to refer to plants, such as "the mushrooms in my kitchen are blooming, I really need to do the washing up"

Canadian here, and while we're vaguely aware of its usage in England, for us "blooming" just refers to, like, flowers and stuff.

❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

Patty is a wonderful singer I wonder if she's ever considered doing a Wellerman cover.

What is the song's title and where can we find it? What little we hear sounds amazing!

“ shouldn’t we stand up gentlemen? We have a bloomin heiress in our midst” From the film, MY FAIR LADY just before Audrey Hepburn sings “ wouldn’t it be loverly which also includes the word Bloomin several times. It’s a Cockney word, not quite a swear word like Bloody or Bleeding used in front of children or older females.

New York here. Blooming Onion

In the southern united states I've heard and used "blooming" in the negative, such as saying "blooming idiot"

In the US it doesn't mean anything bad. Well I should say, at least in California it doesn't mean anything bad. But the USA is going crazy right now, so idk about that in the Midwest or east coast. California might as well be its own, country separate from the rest of the USA.

That was Olaf next to singer Noonta

4:30 More that context guides the interpretation.

Blooming in the US refers to flowers, not a negative

You should do Whitby folk week sometime.

Even though they're not real words, it sounds a lot like Welsh

New Englander here and as a child I heard "Bloomin' idiot" but never took the bloomin' as a swear word. More like a "real, true or absolute total" idiot. We're not always good about hitting our ending g.

We will dance a shottich to this I think :D

Blooming is just a polite substitute for the F word 😂

Bloomin as a swear word is about as strong as the american use of darn

You're so prertty and so silly! ^_^

You're doing it for the brits. Yeah.

Wann gibt es das Album zu kaufen?

Драконом стать Тебя забрать ,но лутше людям в отдать ... Обожаю Тебя Принцесса ❤

Blumen in American English would have made no difference. I like it because it reminds me of the German song Erika.

Imagine a crab with enormous human hands. This creates something for me that is called "Kopfkino" in German ... 🤭

Today is our St Paddy Day

The change is for the Brits!
