Difference between It’s all over with someone and It’s someone all over

it’s all over with someone—

1. said of smb. who is completely finished:

  • It’s all over with me…. I can bang off a popular song in the cabarets, perhaps; but that’s all.

2. said of a person who is dying:

  • When he heard Bambi coming he ceased his convulsive movements and whispered: “It’s all over with me.”

it’s someone all over—it’s very typical of the person mentioned:

  • “We might not be able to prove it, but we strongly suspect it’s Dupas … it’s him all over,” a police source said.
