What is the meaning of "rooting-tooting?" What are the ways of using it in everyday English?
"This ghost town is gonna be great! ''Now with 30% more gunfights.'' And 40% more rootin'-tootin'. And the tumbleweeds tumble at 2:00, 4:00 and 6:00... plus a midnight tumbling on weekends. It's so sweet of you to take us out like this, Homie. Come on, kids. Three cheers for your father. - Hip, hip- - Mom, don't. - Hip, hip- - We heard you the first time. - Hip, hip- - Hey, I'm trying to drive here."
"And 40% more rootin'-tootin'." "rooting-tooting" is used as a noun, what does it mean here? What perfect synonym would you suggest?
Thank you!

Rootin'-tootin' is from cowboy slang and it literally means "very enthusiastic", so if we treat it as a noun it would mean an act of doing something very enthusiastic, some dictionaries even define it as "noisy, rumbustious, boisterous".
