a gogo or à gogo (uh-GOH-goh) - adv., in abundance, galore; spiritedly. adj., (postpositive) in abundance, plenteous.


Also, thanks to numerous discos and nightclubs named after Whiskey à Gogo (est. 1947 in Paris, named after a British nightclub called Whiskey Galore), a style of music and fashion. Note that as an adjective, it always comes after the noun, much like galore sometimes does. From French, clearly, from à gogo, in abundance, which dates to Middle French, where its origin is obscure but frequently speculated to be some sort of reduplicative form of gogue, joke/witticism.

(I'm not going to include a pic of gogo boots. Just, no. You can find one yourself.)
