Faces away from boor on carpet, unconscious (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

out cold

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

'unconscious' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'faces away from boor on carpet' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'away' could be 'out' (similar in meaning) and 'out' is present in the answer.
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for out cold that I've seen before include "in an unconscious state" , "senseless" .)
