어 엎다

flip it over; scrap and redo

엎다 is turning something upside down, and it fuses with a preceding verb into two forceful compounds: 뒤집어 엎다 "flip it over, overturn it" and 갈아엎다 "plough it under, scrap it and redo it." Both are used far beyond physical objects — 세상을 뒤집어 엎어 보자! is overturning the world, 싹 다 갈아엎어 주세요 is demanding a complete redo, 모든 걸 뒤집어 엎는 인물 is someone upending everything. The tone is loud and enthusiastic in these lines, often shouted or chanted.

Register: forceful, casual
