English

Etymology

1964, US, partly from Whisky a Go Go, an influential American nightclub (in turn from (deprecated template usage) [etyl] French à gogo (“abundant”)), partly by reduplication of go, from 1962 slang the go (“the rage, fashionable”), from sense the go (“in motion”) as in on the go.

Compare to French yéyé (yeah-yeah), of contemporary coinage.
