I'm not talking about the meat itself. Could be a corpse or something lifeless.
I think I've heard of the term "lamb" (British English). Is that the case though? (as lamb is sheep's meat).
EDIT:
Eventually the context I heard the word was not meat specific. Also the word is "lump" as an answer in the comments.
Usage: - I won't stand a chance against a big lump like you (ref)

Definitely not lamb. A lamb is a young sheep, not an amount/mass of meat. Are you sure it wasn't "lump" you heard?

"Lump" can be used to refer to a piece of meat, or generally a pile, collection or large piece of anything.
It can also be used humorously (or insultingly) to refer to a person who is lazy, heavy or slow.
For example, you could say something like
"Hurry up, you lump of meat!"
or
"Come over here, you great lump."
