The answer

The phrase mentioned, if not intended as divorce or ẓihār, does not entail anything, even if the word "carrion" might imply unlawfulness, because it is not explicit in divorce or ẓihār. So, if a man says to his wife: "You are to me like carrion and blood," if he intended divorce, it is a divorce; if he intended ẓihār, it is ẓihār; and if he did not intend anything, then there is nothing upon him.
