bloodnoun (BLUHD-nown) - n., (SE US, esp. South Carolina) a bullfrog.
Which is a large frog (Rana catesbeiana or Lithobates catesbeianus) native to southern and eastern United States and southeastern Canada, as well as introduced elsewhere in the world, with a deep resonant croak. The original of this regionalism (first recorded in the early 1910s) is unknown, but it has an alternate form of bloody noun.
