Notes for American Idiom – If You Want Blood, You’ve GOT IT! Video
ERRATA NOTICE: It appears the word “Consanguinuity” is more commonly (read: almost always) spelled “consanguinity.” I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

What We’re Covering Here:
  1. The meanings (and sometimes origins) of American idioms and phrases containing the word “blood.”
  2. A few other relevant “fun facts.”
  3. Whatever else comes up as I’m recording this.
  4. If you like this video, please don’t forget to give this a “thumbs up,” subscribe to my channel, and click on the little bell in the top right corner for notifications.

Who’d Like This:
  1. High school and college students studying for the SAT and ACT ; people coming to the U.S. from other countries; people learning American English as a second language; U.S. natives who want to learn regionalisms or idioms they don’t know.
 
Source Material For this Video:
Barron’s A Dictionary of American Idioms (5th ed., 2018) Barron’s Educational Services, New York, NY.
