Go (Ottawa Terminology)

To "go" someone is to "go after them," which may take the form of violently rushing or mugging them. It stems from the popular high school phrase "you wanna go?", commonly used to instigate fisticuffs in the parking lot.

This usage of the term is common in the Ottawa area of Canada and is particularly prevalent among the Quebecois French-speaking population.
If you walk through Mechanicsville at night, someone might try to go you. You'd best be in constant contact with someone by phone, preferably a cute gymnast who can come to your rescue.

Imunna go store

A shortened phrase, part of Canadian and Upper Midwestern dialects. It is (very) short for "I'm going to go to the store" where store can be replaced with any place, such as the mall or a movie theater.

Used by Canadians and more rural Upper Midwesterners, who are known for making phrases shorter so they are easier to say.
Yooper: "Imunna go store. Need much?"

Yooper: "I'm gonna head to da store, 'ja need anything?"

Tourist relative: "No, I'm fine, thank you"
