polish it off, finish the lot

치우다 means clearing away, and after a -아/어 verb it says the action was carried right through until nothing was left. Seven of these eight lines are 먹어 치우다, eating the lot: 튀긴 아이스크림 깨끗하게 먹어 치웠어 (we polished off the fried ice cream). The eighth, 갈아치우다, is the same idea applied to replacing — swapping something out wholesale.

Register: casual; a bit blunt about the eating
