Brown the house down 

Browning the house down is a very complex plan that takes action at a large party. (Graduation, birthday, etc) First of all you must not shit starting at least 3 days before the party while eating food like Taco Bell and taco johns. Get about 5 people to do this. Now when the day of the party comes you and your five friends must disappear in the middle of the party to the bathroom. You didn't forget the laxatives did you?! Of course fucking not! That's the most important part! Now once all six of you have downed a good amount of laxatives it's time to clog that toilet! Stuff one roll of 4 ply toilet paper down that shitter maybe two if you're feeling crazy. Can you feel that? That's the laxatives kicking in! Now you and your buddies must take turns shitting in that clogged ass toilet. After that is over flush that fucker and run! Watch as the owner of the house freaks out as shit water comes seeping out under the door. Congrats you have officially browned the house down!
Person 1: Hey man did you hear about bills party next week?

Person 2: Hell yeah! You wanna brown the house down?

Person 1: Totally I'll text some people and tell them not to take a shit for a while.

Person 2: sweet I'll bring the laxatives!

slay the house down boots Houston I'm deceased

A term used to express exaggerated joy and approval by onlookers or witnesses to behavior perceived as iconic or fierce (e.g. a death drop during a voguing performance, a friend looking hot in a provocative outfit, etc.), or at an unexpected but propitious outcome (e.g. a celebrity coming out, news of a highly anticipated album drop, etc.), typically within the context of gay counterculture.

The term is a portmanteau and takes the form of a command followed by a proclamation. "Slay the house down boots" mixes the use of "slay", widely used as a shorthand to express joyful surprise, with the instruction to slay "the house down", implying a larger edifice or audience, typically in the context of a performance. The addition of "boots" is used for shock effect, echoing wider gay parlance. "Houston I'm deceased" is a play on the lines used by astronauts communicating to NASA's Mission Control and implies that the reaction was so urgent that a well-known authority had to be notified; "I'm deceased" humorously implies that something was so overwhelming that the speaker has passed away. The impossibility of literal use accentuates the chaos and humor.

The term is used primarily among queer youths and emerged from the NY ballroom and drag scene before percolating into wider gay culture, primarily via memes and alt Twitter. It is used for its flamboyant flair and for its tendency to bewilder straight audiences.
*Performer executes a flawless death drop while voguing*
"Yis maw maw you better werk"
"Slay the house down boots Houston I'm deceased!!"
