Go go gadget legs. Go right. Go left.
Go wrong. Go west. Go down to the sea
in ships. Go down to the river and pray.
Go fish. Go first. Go forth and multiply.

Go hide. Go down with a case of.
Go ape. Go without. Go Patriots.
Go halves. Go slow. Go under the knife.
Go under the sign of the war-shaft.

Go one better. Go great guns.
Go south. Go out in the mid-day sun.

Go tell it on the mountain. Go and sin

Go and get help. Go directly to jail.
Go down in flames. Go up in smoke.
Go for broke. Go tell Aunt Rhody.
Go tell the Spartans. Go to hell.
Go into detail. Go for the throat.
