Can someone please explain what is the meaning of the phrase in CAPS? It's on a British book. Thanks in advance.

But when we told him exactly how we went about it and how hard I punch Mary he told us that I was probably doing no more damage than someone jogging or playing a rough sport. I should tell you that we have experimented with the hardness of the punch and It is surprising how little effort is need to knock Mary out for 30 seconds to a minute.
.... Just a quick biff and she was "out" with her bottom in the air
with her knees quite wide apart to stop her toppling over sideways.
