Collocations & Idioms of the Word BLOOD
Hi there
I'm sooooo glad to be here. These forums have always been a great help for me and for so many people I believe.
Sooooo I highly appreciate and thank everyone who is behind this terrific work.
I have a question concerning collocations & idioms of the word BLOOD. ( Oops my start is full of blood, believe me im much kinder than that! Lol
)
Our prof asked us to give precise definitions concerning each idiom. He is hardly satisfied with our answers.
Sooooo may u help me????
The difference between the following:
1. to let blood to shed blood to spill blood to lose blood
2. blood clots blood congeals blood coagulates blood curdles
3. blood runs cold blood freezes
4. elevated blood pressure high blood pressure
5. to draw blood to draw first blood
6. fresh/new blood the old blood
In the following idioms, he gave us one meaning (between parentheses) and required for another.
Blue blood ( of noble family)
Royal blood ( of royal family)
One more question …. Is the idiom (blood test) involves the examination of your blood by doctors to determine its type or just to make judgment about your medical condition??
Sorry I know it's a long post. I'm much obliged to all of u.
THANX IN ADVANCE

Thank you Marius for your help. But unfortunately I didn't find satisfying answers for all the idioms here. Most are not found. If you please, help me particularly with no. 5 & 6.

you can draw blood with your comments that most people find irritating.
if you join a company you are a new blood there; seniors are old blood.
they are part of the furniture, they say.
to draw first blood means to hurt(metaforically, literally) your opponent before they do. In a debate if you draw first blood you win.

1. to let blood to shed blood When used as an idiom, this one means that you worked really, really hard. "We shed blood and tears over that project." to spill blood to lose blood I don't know these others as idoms.
2. blood clots blood congeals blood coagulates blood curdles
