Posting to note that the claim of the reversed original quote only emerged in the 1990s [[https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/147902/is-the-alleged-original-meaning-of-the-phrase-blood-is-thicker-than-water-real#181130 and has little evidence behind it]], while many sources can be found using the usual meaning of \"Blood is thicker then water\" (Wikipedia\'s quote of the Troy Book on [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_is_thicker_than_water its page on the proverb]] is very different from the claim in [=BlackSunNocturne=]\'s post, incidentally), so it\'s probably false and \"Blood is thicker then water\" really does mean what the trope page uses it to mean.
