From the Oxford bilingual dictionary:

santísimo -ma adjetivo

A (Religión) most holy; la Virgen Santísima the Holy Virgin

B (familiar) (uso enfático): hay que hacer su santísima voluntad we have to do everything he damn well wants; no voy porque no me da la santísima gana I'm not going because I damn well don't want to (familiar)
