I feel like this may be already out there somewhere, but I really did think this up on my own. What does this rebus puzzle mean?

GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO

That's really it! No additional hints exist in any of the content not in block quotes.

Hint:

The answer has 5 words.

  • $\begingroup$ No, if I did that the puzzle would be meaningless. It needs to have this many! :) $\endgroup$

Could it be:

It takes two to tango?

Rather cryptically, the rebus puzzle depicts:

It takes two (more go) to (get) ten go.

  • $\begingroup$ I don't think the solution is unreasonable. The "cryptically" just refers to the fact that it adds one more level to most other answers, that take the "eight go" at face value. $\endgroup$

I guess the answer you're after is:

to forego

because indeed

2 * GO GO GO GO = two (four GO)

Any Chance it'd be:

Go Wait in a line

as in

Go * 8 in a line

$\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ This sounds right to me (but I'd suggest the small change of "Go wait in line", i.e. without the 'a', as more idiomatic). $\endgroup$

Is it

Forgot to go

Implying

4 GO x 2 GO = 8 GO (Four-go-two-go) = forgot to go

$\endgroup$

Perhaps a bit of a stretch, but

Great Times

Because

'"GO" eight times' if said quickly, would sound something like 'go-wait times'*. For someone with a rhotacism, like Elmer Fudd, this would be pronounced almost identical to 'great times'.

Probably

GOes in line...

with?

As in:

Rhymes with.

I think the answer is

Everything is a go

meaning

All preparations are complete

I feel,

(EDITED ANSWER):

Goes online (that is LIVE!)

based on pronounciation mainly

8 GOs arranged in a line

a common phrase of usage.
