The Bloods are a street gang founded in Los Angeles, California. The gang is widely known for its rivalry with the Crips. They are identified by the red worn by their members and by particular gang symbols, including distinctive hand signs. The Bloods are made up of various sub-groups known as "sets" between which significant differences exist such as colors, clothing, and operations, and political ideas which may be in open conflict with each other. Since their creation, the Blood gangs have branched out throughout the United States. Bloods have been documented in the US military, found in both US and overseas bases. The Bloods gang was formed initially to compete against the influence of the Crips in Los Angeles.
The origin of the Bloods and their rivalry with the Crips dates to the 1970s, where the Pirus street gang, originally a set, or faction, of the Crips broke off during an internal gang war, and allied with other smaller gangs to found the gang that would eventually become known as the Bloods. At the time, Crips sets outnumbered Bloods sets by three to one. To assert their power despite this difference in numbers, Bloods sets became increasingly violent, especially against rival Crips members. The Pirus are therefore considered to be the original founders of the Bloods. During the rise of crack cocaine, the gang's focus shifted to drug production. Bloods sets operate independently of each other, and are currently located in almost all States. Blood sets on the East Coast are often seen as affiliated with the United Blood Nation, a gang which originated in Rikers Island. Their gang activities include: Murder, Drug trafficking, Robbery, & Extortion. They are allies with the People Nation & Latin Kings. They're rivals are Crips, Folk Nation, Sureños.

bloody sheets 

When a couple consumates their marriage in some cultures, they display the "bloody sheets" to prove the girl's virginity prior to the marriage. Often girl's bring pig blood to the honeymoon bed if she's not a virgin or is afraid she won't bleed because she has torn her hymen through other means.

Sometimes used to indicate a girl was a virgin before having sex.
She proudly hung the bloody sheets outside the hotel window for her family and friends to see after she made love to her new husband for the first time.

Yeah, we finally hooked up last night and wound up with bloody sheets.

Seven Bloody Hells 

"Seven Bloody Hells" (or, alternately, "seven hells") is a term created by George R. R. Martin in his famous book series "A Song of Ice and Fire", of which the first book is the well-known "Game of Thrones."

The term originates from one of the key theologies in the book, the Seven, of which there are seven deities, with seven heavens, and, therefore seven hells.

The term is often used as an expression of anger, anguish, or surprise, but it not limited to these emotions.

This term should be considered akin to the word "fuck" in its usage, however, it is usually used by a higher-class person, such as the royalty in the book.
Jon: "Seven bloody hells, it's cold." (neutral)

Robb: "Seven hells! Where did they come from?" (surprise)

Robert: "Seven bloody hells, Ned, I want to HIT something!" (anger)

Catelyn: "Seven hells! Why can't you see that this won't solve anything?" (anguish)

Cersei: "Seven hells, Jamie, why won't you ever think?" (anger)
