out for blood

I feel like sense 10 at blood already covers this. This would be an okay redirection, though. —(((Romanophile))) ♞ (contributions) 12:33, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Weak keep. Hmm. You can be out for blood without necessarily looking for bloodshed - but more importantly, I think the revenge aspect makes this distinct. Theknightwho (talk) 20:25, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Weak Keep. I agree with the above analysis. --Overlordnat1 (talk) 21:12, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Keep: seems like a set phrase to me. — Sgconlaw (talk) 21:48, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

Keep, set phrase, also LEMMING. I disagree that the "bloodshed" sense covers the meaning here, I have never used this phrase in a case when someone was seeking to cause physical harm, always idiomatically where someone is very angry and looking to take action on that anger. - TheDaveRoss 13:42, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
