milovanderlinden commented on the word dogo
I founded a website with the name dogodigi. Now I am looking for a usable explaination for this word. Are there any suggestions?
Things I found:
- Swahili; dogo means "small"
- Zarma; dogo means "tall man"
Any other suggestions?

"Digital fool", from West African dogo, "fool" and digi- "digital"; analogous to Motley Fool, the American investment advisers, using "fool" in the sense of "jester".
Or more simply: do go digi(tal).
