Ví dụ
Powell made it clear (làm rõ, nhấn mạnh) that he is going to keep on sucking money out of the financial system until inflation (lạm phát) is good and dead. But this comes at a cost: Businesses will find it harder to expand, consumers will be less likely to spend, and layoffs are probably going to keep rising.

Male flies, on the other hand, are compelled to have sex until they die. In spite of the fact more than a few guys reading this probably think, hey – that might not be such a bad ending, rest assured it’s no fun for guy-flies. Once a female victim is good and dead, E. muscae begins making sesquiterpene analogs to the female fly’s alluring sex pheromone.

LeBlanc fishes the creature out of the sand when he's sure that "it's good and dead". But its ultimate humiliation (nỗi nhục) is revealed on the final page of the story where it is butchered to be served and eaten in a stew (ăn trong lo lắng).
