expression
释义
A place where different kinds of raw meat are sold, either in a store or market. Informally, it can also mean a place or situation where people are judged mostly by their appearance, for example, at bars or parties.
用法与细微差别
Literal use is for retail places selling fresh or raw meat. Informal/slang use (mainly US, sometimes UK): describes bars, clubs, or parties where people are looking mainly for physical attraction, sometimes considered negative or objectifying. Context is important for meaning. Don't confuse with just 'butcher shop.'
