Meaning
Usually refers to one’s family. Sometimes used (as in Shakespeare’s original) to denote all living creatures.
Origin
From Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
Clown: I have been, madam, a wicked creature, as you and all flesh and blood are; and, indeed, I do marry that I may repent. —Flesh and Blood (The Prhase Finder)
Er, no, that’s not from Hamlet. It’s from All’s Well That Ends Well (I.iii).
