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’

Get the Sophomore Slaughtermug. otherwise known as the purple guy, or as his canon name suggests- William Afton. The man behind the slaughter is a Fnaf meme where people point out purple people. Some actual backstory here: The man behind the slaughter, in FNAF lore, is a guy who killed five children to spark the start of Fnaf- hence his name.

Get the Pussy slaughtermug. A slaughter of crows have taken over the neighborhood. They are in every tree and rooftop and when they take to the air they blot out the sun. The noise is unbearable and when they are at rest they get silent . Then, as one, they stare at you with dead, menacing, beady eyes.
