E-TIDBIT OF THE DAY: Go figure

Go figure is a North American idiomatic expression which means: It's really strange.; Just try to figure it out.; Incredible.


Here are some examples in sentences:


  • I was talking to her on the phone, when she hung up on me! Go figure.
  • The TV series was really popular, yet they took it off the air - go figure, right?
  • He is such a nice guy, but ended up in prison for identity theft. Go figure!



  • We were all late for the meeting by about 15 minutes. Yet, they didn't start the meeting until we got there...go figure. Our presence must have been extremely important.

This expression is informal, but used in all circles: formal and informal social gatherings, classrooms, family get togethers, and business meetings.


This will help you on your way to speaking impressive American English!
