a smothering

Like a mattress party (euthanasia via a family mattress pile-on), only in the olde-English/Irish times.

Usually when food is scarce and a older relative is still hanging around, healthily consuming valuable resources.

"If grandma is still eating all those potatoes through spring, we'll have to get the relos in for a smothering, what-ho!"
