This ... moreEnglish is a funny (as in weird, not as in ha-ha) language, with its confusing and sometimes contradictory rules, its exceptions to its own rules, its idioms, et cetera. This challenge asks you to list as many expressions or phrases as you can that include any form of the word "go", BUT only those that do NOT involve actually or physically going anywhere. "Go figure" is an example, as is "go wild", "go to town", "give it a good going-over", "went to sleep".Have fun, and don't go to any great lengths to find examples! (Hey, that's another one, lol.)~ less

I've never thought along these lines myself, so where does the idea come from? Is it simply a result of the idea of elves being preternaturally attractive combined with the idea of being played by a perverted gamer? Or are there some fiction/fan-fiction around that have caused this trope to manifest?

Thank you for participating.Update: results of the test:The correct answer was actually neither "face" (the word chosen by Randy D), nor "cup" (Maurice214's choice), but "coffee", which was chosen by no one. Nevertheless, I found the answers given by Randy and Maurice both interesting. I was, however, a little disappointed by the answers given by Not Flo and by Austrans (not by their pictures). less

He wants info of 200 page length to be boiled down to one page. He can't focus very long and so you have to grab him and tell him quickly or you've lost him. Since he has a hard time keeping things straight...he often contradicts himself and maybe does so honestly because he can't remember what he said before..how does this affect his ability on an international level when he is dealing with heads of state? Shouldn't he be able to remember what he said to whom and when and not contradict himself? less

I play video games and you don't." As if there's some sort of merit associated with the ability to spend countless hours Diabloing yourself with Mario thru the Skyrim universe.What if I said, "Im not a gamer but I can watch the hell out of some TV!!"Why is it not the same?Or is it?
