rotten meat
Decomposing animal tissue
Rotten meat is flesh that has begun to decompose, becoming unsafe to eat and foul-smelling.
The phrase appears literally in food safety contexts and figuratively to describe something thoroughly corrupted or worthless: The whole deal was rotten meat from the start.
That carcass is nothing but rotten meat now.
