o'er-crow

v. t. To crow, exult, or boast, over; to overpower. Contraction of "overcrow."

HAMLET
O, I die, Horatio;
The potent poison quite o'er-crows my spirit:
I cannot live to hear the news from England;
But I do prophesy the election lights
On Fortinbras: he has my dying voice;
So tell him, with the occurrents, more and less,
Which have solicited. The rest is silence.

It is an old irish saying meaning to be fed well enough to become fat. Ex: Your sides are fat enough to cover your backbone.

Boy: Yes sir I have eaten my fill.
