What is slaughter?

Answer:

Slaughtering is the killing and butchering of food animals in meat packing plants.

By extension, it applies to a murder performed in a similarly grisly manner.

In metaphorical usage, in competitions and games, it is an overwhelming victory over a relatively "helpless" opponent.
