Here's why:
* It's not a true prefix or suffix: Prefixes and suffixes are attached to the beginning or end of a word to modify its meaning. "Bloody" sits within the word.
* It's not a standard intensifier: Intensifiers are words that strengthen the meaning of another word (like "very" or "extremely"). While "bloody" does strengthen the meaning of "fantastic", it's not a common intensifier like the ones mentioned.
It's more accurately described as:
* An expletive: A word or phrase used to express strong emotion, often considered vulgar or taboo.
* An intensifier: Although not a standard one, it clearly amplifies the meaning of "fantastic".
In context:
The phrase "fan-bloody-tastic" is a colloquialism, a type of informal language. It's a creative combination of intensifier, expletive, and base word to create a highly emphatic and expressive phrase.
