boots
Intensifier meaning 'extremely' — done exceptionally, all the way.
Definitions
A ballroom-and-drag intensifier that turbocharges whatever comes before it. Tack 'boots' onto an adjective and you mean it to the maximum — 'sickening boots' is sickening at the highest possible level. Lives in the same family as 'the house down.'
In the fuller form 'boots the house down' (and the deluxe 'boots the house down boots'), it means done so well it brings the whole house down — flawless, devastating, the top of the top. A stack of intensifiers where more words means more praise.
