shoot
n.— «That’s the point where you give up and decide to wear thick tights and Ugg boots for the remainder of the winter. That, or I might succumb to the allure of the new shoe-boots—or shoots, as they call them—and just let my calves spill over the tops of them.» —“‘While a foot size may remain the same, a calf size does not. The boots will not zip up’” by Kayt Turner Scotsman (Glasgow, Scotland) Nov. 4, 2007. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
