I found many books with the "blood in her eyes" idiom, even a film listed above.

What does the phrase blood in my eyes mean? https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110403143253AA0GyTG Best Answer: it means someone can see the anger in you're eyes, and the blood is refering to a person's desire to hurt and injure another.

I can't believe Rush Limbaugh said he hadn't ever heard it.

It even made it into Star Trek: (One of the best Next Generation episodes.)

http://en.memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Tamarian_language

‘”Zinda, his face black, his eyes red” - anger or conflict, also can indicate pain or discomfort, possible indication of inability to survive (either self, or other party)’

From the page:

“The Tamarian language was the spoken language of the Tamarians. The Tamarians spoke entirely by allegory, referencing mythological and historical people and events from their culture. As a result, Federation universal translators – although they could successfully translate the individual words and sentence structure – were unable to convey the symbolic meaning they represented. Without prior knowledge of the Tamarians’ history and legends, a word-by-word translation was of no use to someone attempting to communicate with them. This language barrier led to isolation of the Tamarian people after all attempts at communication had failed.”

“Oh! But he was a tight-fisted hand at the grindstone, Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner! Hard and sharp as flint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait;

made his eyes red,

his thin lips blue; and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice.”

Blood In My Eyes by Bob Dylan

LYRICS

Woke up this morning, feeling blue,
Seen a good-lookin’ girl, can I make love with you?
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you,
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you.
I got blood in my eyes for you, babe,
I don’t care what in the world you do.

I went back home, put on my tie,
Gonna get that girl that money that money will buy.
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you,
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you.
I got blood in my eyes for you, babe,
I don’t care what in the world you do.

She looked at me, begin to smile,
Said, “Hey, hey, man, can’t you wait a little while?”
No, no, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you,
No, no, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you.
Got blood in my eyes for you, babe,
I don’t care what in the world you do.

No, no, ma’ma, I can’t wait,
You got my money, now you’re trying to break this date.
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you,
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you.
I got blood in my eyes for you, babe,
I don’t care what in the world you do.

I tell you something, tell you the facts,
You don’t want me, give my money back.
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you,
Hey, hey, babe, I got blood in my eyes for you.
I got blood in my eyes for you, babe,
I don’t care what in the world you do.

Yes, but Trump said coming out of her eyes. Not in her eyes.

It’s relates to the term seeing red, I suppose.

Like Rush, I never heard anyone ever say blood coming out of her eyes.

But I knew what he meant and don’t think he meant she was on her menses.

But I did not hear him speak it, just heard quotes.

Anyhow, it’s show-biz!!

Piccadely is an early Anna May Wong movie. I think it’s lost.

I’m familiar with the term “seeing red,” which basically has the same meaning.

I worked in a steel fabrication shop in which the sandblaster operators would have the whites of their eyes completely blood red! Very unnerving to look at.

Im really surprise a people the content they never heard of expression “blood in their eyes”... is goes along with “seeing(saw) red”.I did not think in that statement Trump was saying Kelly was “Ragging” on him.....

Let face facts..Kelly was out to get Trump.. she was not a debate "moderator"( there to moderate.. be a umpire between the candidates) she was a full on partisan GOPe attack dog... aka the GOPe's "pit bull bitch"...and Kelly deserves to be attacked back by Trump...

I can't believe Rush Limbaugh said he hadn't ever heard it.

I believe Rush was referring to the "blood coming out of her wherever" part of the blood quote. Rush said he didn't think of menstruation until later, when he observed the shocked reactions.

Donald Trump to Erick Erickson: Get your mind out of the gutter!

“I can’t believe Rush Limbaugh said he hadn’t ever heard it.”

I can’t either. I have heard the expression on occasion throughout my life.

I think Trump, outspoken as he is, would have expressed “on the rag”, if that is what he really meant.
