“Giggity” (also known as “Giggity Giggity Goo”) is a sexually-oriented catchphrase initially used by the character Glenn Quagmire in the animated sitcom Family Guy.

Quagmire is commonly depicted as a hyperactive sex addict and, as such, the phrase is often used in regards to an image or video of a sexual nature. Moreover, it is also occassionaly used in response to a remark that was not intentionally sexual, but rather came across as such (in a similar manner to “That’s What She Said”).
Origin
According to the show’s creator, Seth MacFarlane, the phrase was inspired by a friend, as well as stand-up comedian, Steve Marmel, who would apparently call Seth and perform Jerry Lewis impressions over the phone, which eventually devolved into the giggity phrase seen throughout the show.
Spread
Since the show’s airing in 1999, giggity has made numerous widespread appearances in pop culture, as well as a phrase that is often used in real-life scenarios. Sites such as Funnyjunk[1] and Tumblr[2] contain hundreds of posts and uploads related to the phrase under its subsequent tag. Avatars of Quagmire began to appear in forums alike.
