British (usually London cockney slang)- Location used to hide all types of stolen goods.
âââ
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 âfenceâ handler of stolen goods.
A slaughterhouse, hence abbrev. in slang to a âslaughterâ. See âslaughterâ used in the British TV series âMinderâ
------
Take that those stolen goods back to your slaughter
An expression of anger. So great is the annoyance, you're to start a fight or would like to hit someone. Interchangeable with "Hold my coat."
English. Seen in 1950s/60s British cinema, before fight scenes, or as an expression of displeasure. Not to be confused with the now in vogue American use, preceding a boastful or stupid act.
That idiot annoys me, Hold my beer (Anger), where upon a fight breaks out.
