Gogossing is a term that began to gain popularity on the internet in the early 2000s. Its usage has significantly decreased, with expressions like 'ㄱㄱ' (gg), 'Gajua' (가즈아), and 'Gogohyet' (고고혓) being used in its place.

'Gogossing' is an internet slang term meaning 'Let's go quickly' or 'Let's start fast.' It is known as a compound word combining the English 'gogo' (meaning 'to go' or 'to start') and 'ssing,' an onomatopoeic sound representing fast movement. Regarding its origin, there are theories: one suggests it's a variation of 'Gogosing-a-song' used by the 'Sword Singer' in the online game Lineage 2 when starting a song; another links it to 'Singha-hyung' (a popular internet character) when urging opponents to start quickly in games like StarCraft. However, while these theories might have influenced its spread, the expression 'Gogossing' itself has documented uses predating these instances, making it difficult to pinpoint them as its direct etymological origin.

Go-go-ssing (pronounced roughly as 'go-go-sing', with the 'ss' sound similar to the 's' in 'hissing').

It was primarily used by the younger generation who were active internet users in the early 2000s.

"Let's go to the PC bang now, Gogossing!" "Let's Gogossing quickly and start the game!"

Since 'Gogossing' is an old internet term, nearly 20 years old, it's not commonly used today and might sound somewhat outdated. Furthermore, there have been instances where it was used in moving scenes in manga translations, creating an awkward tone, or was criticized as vulgar in animations. Therefore, caution is advised as it can feel inappropriate depending on the situation and context.
