Do not clot well: Bleeding disorders is a general term for a wide range of medical conditions that lead to poor blood clotting and continuous bleeding. Doctors also call them terms such as coagulopathy, abnormal bleeding and clotting disorders. Some examples are hemophilia (deficient factor viii or ix), von willebrand disease, liver disease, and secondary to medications(aspirin, coumadin, (warfarin) plavix, heparin).

Tendency to bleed: Definition is simple, but there are many "normal" people who bruise easily, or have frequent nose bleeding, heavy menstrual period, or bled heavily after tonsillectomy. So it is not easy to decide if your bleeding problem is within the range you expect in normal people or you have a "bleeding disorder". Ultimately you need to have a specialist, hematologist, decide if you have a bleeding disorder.
