Blood.
Oodles.*
Bloodles.
Rhyming with "poodles," an equally adorable way to describe massive bleeding to distract a person with massive bleeding.
Sad irony: "bloodles" is only one letter away from "bloodless," its adjectival opposite.
e.g. "Is there a lot of blood?"
The number of "s"s** in the answer is extremely important.
* Note that this is an unorthodox usage of the word "oodles," which was coined really to only describe an amount of noodles.
But I believe "bloodles" will catch on.
e.g. "Hold on, doctor! The Red Cross is almost here with their delivery of bloodles!"
** What's the best way to write the plural of the letter "s"?
"S"s? S's? Esses? Sz? S'?
Who pluralizes the pluralizer?

Octopushups
Octopus.
Push-ups.
Octopushups.
The smartest creature of the invertebrates knows how important working out can be to a healthy, happy, and productive life.
Content.
Tentacle.
Contentacle.
Octopuses (or octopi, or octopodes*) also have no skeletons.
So no secrets lurking in their sea closets.
(Generally speaking, they don't have closets either. So they're all out about their sexualities.)
Having no skeltons also makes for one less Halloween decoration they have to put up.
Scary.
Wreath.
Scareath.
That's what they put up instead.
* Too bad there aren't 8 plurals.
Well, now there can be:
Octoposse.
Octopussim.
Octopeese.
Octopies.
Octoplurals.
Push-ups.
