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).
I love quirky online databases, too, but here’s one example of why failing to confirm what you find online can lead to trouble. The consequences in this case are negligible, but imagine somebody going online to make health-related decisions!

A quick Sunday visit to #fortligonier with my history-loving son.
The choreographer daughter is doing a thing.
No interior yet. Getting there. Gotta start somewhere. Low-poly background detail for a medieval theater…
This is manageable. Far better than some semesters.
Creating textures for background buildings in a medieval theater simulation project. I can always improve…

It should be up now. I've got to go offline now, but I'll check back later. Thanks for checking.
Could you please tell me what the exercise is for Lit. Study, the one involving quotations. Where can it be found, maybe I missed something.
