In British English, bleeder is a rough, offensive word for a person, nearly always a man, that you dislike or are fed up with. You might hear you little bleeder or the stupid bleeder when someone is angry. Though actually, the feeling is not always pure hate: older speakers sometimes say the poor bleeder with a mix of pity and roughness, closer to “that man” than to a curse in a street fight. Dictionaries still mark it as very offensive. It sounds dated, working-class, and British; Americans do not use it this way. In Taiwan you only need to recognise it in British films or books. It is not a polite word, and it is not yours to try out.
（英式粗話）討厭的傢伙、混蛋，多用來罵男人。不是「會流血的人」
