Almost every yob gets committed (3-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

all-out

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'committed' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'almost every yob' is the wordplay.
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'every' becomes 'all' (similar in meaning).
'yob' becomes 'lout' (both can mean an antisocial young man).
'all' with its last letter taken away is 'al'.
'al'+'lout'='ALL-OUT'

'gets' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for all-out that I've seen before include "Whole-hearted (effort)" , "Complete" , "At full speed - no one at home" , "Nobody home, or using every possible speed" , "Exerting maximum effort - nobody home" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
