British (usually London cockney slang)- Location used to hide all types of stolen goods.
———
Etymology: Derived from the far older act of livestock-theft. Butchers received stolen animals because owners could no longer recognise their livestock after the animal had been slaughtered. Animals were very valuable commodities and a robber could potentially sustain a living from stealing livestock and selling them to butcher-fences. A ‘fence’ handler of stolen goods.
A slaughterhouse, hence abbrev. in slang to a ’slaughter’. See ‘slaughter’ used in the British TV series ‘Minder’

When the balance is so uneven between two teams such that noncompetitive game and a thorough defeat is virtually guaranteed. Usually used in a choose-up selection process where one captain picks players or selection is done by letter or number but the result is two unevenly matched teams. The term is used to demand a reselection of teams.
