Bloodied vs bloody
Hi teachers. I assume both are correct, but which one is the preferred?
A bloodied Ryan crawled out of the wrecked car.
A bloody Ryan crawled out of the wrecked car.

Both are OK, with the standard meaning of 'covered in blood'. But in Britain the word ****** is also a swear word (at least it was when I used to live there). eg You're a ****** idiot!
