Apparently there was some reason to celebrate in the camp, everywhere Kolt looked there were people A-go-going all over the camp. Loud voices assaulted his ears after the relative quiet of Yorvet's training session, not at all helped by the random musical instruments everyone seemed to be playing. What was the deal here? What had happened in the hours he'd been gone to make everyone in a festive mood? He saw no reason to celebrate. They were stuck in the same place, and he wasn't getting home any time soon.
A-go-go -1: of, relating to, or being a disco or the music or dances performed there 2: being in a whirl of motion 3: being up-to-date--often used postpositively.
Added Info -The English word "a-go-go" has two functions. It's an adjective, as we've defined it on the other side of this page, but it's also a noun referring to a nightclub for dancing to popular music--that is, a disco. both the noun and the first meaning of the adjective betray the word's origins. It's from the name of a Parisian discotheque: the Whisky a Gogo, which translates to "whiskey galore." the French club, which opened in 1947 or 1948, predated the American discos that have also used the name, but the American versions undoubtedly helped spread the term "a-go-go" in English: the most famous of these, the still-operating Whisky a Go Go on Hollywood's Sunset Strip, opened in 1964, the year before our earliest evidence of the generic use of either the noun or the adjective "a-go-go."
