Anti-coagulants like warfarin are regularly though mistakenly called
blood thinners. Blood ain't no thinner, it just clots slower.

Maybe if you compare the average density of blood with hard clots to
blood with soft clots or almost clots, the latter might be lower in
density, thus "thinner". Even though the liquid part of the blood is
unchanged.
