From the song by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, used to describe the depressed feeling you get about the modern world in general. An abattoir is a slaughterhouse, so the term, in a more in depth way, means you feel the world is lining itself up for slaughter, much like cows do at a slaughterhouse.
Man 1: Hey, are you all right? You've seemed kinda depressed lately.
Man 2: Oh, it's okay, I've just got a case of abattoir blues.
When you take your girlfriend to Paisley Abbey while sheβs on her period and get her to empty her clot filled scants on to the altar, before mixing the detritus with oatmeal to make a hearty breakfast sausage.
As a special treat, the girls at the bingo have got together to make you a lovely Paisley Abattoir, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
