They killed him entirely
stancarey:
A young man died after injuries received in a row, and his friend says:– ‘It is dreadful about the poor boy: they made at him in the house and killed him there; then they dragged him out on the road and killed him entirely, so that he lived for only three days after.’
P. W. Joyce, English As We Speak It In Ireland (1910)
