propozycja
When you "draw blood" you succeed in hurting someone's feelings.
Examples:
- The teacher's caustic remarks clearly drew blood.
- His remarks were intended to draw blood.
= to anger or insult a person - "Sally screamed out a terrible insult at Tom. Judging by the look on his face, she really drew blood. Tom started yelling and cursing, trying to insult Sally. He wouldn't be satisfied until he had drawn blood, too."
http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/draw blood
= Injure someone physically or emotionally.
For example, The bullet skimmed his shoulder and barely drew any blood, or That reviewer really knows how to draw blood.
