It won’t let me choose USA. I’m from New Orleans and both my Cajun grandma and my Sicilian grandma said that. It must be a regional thing picked up from Creole Origin. They used to say, “go dodo” to us kids or pets. I don’t know why I thought of that today and decided to look it up. That was almost 50 years ago.

It also means to lay down. Like we'd say 'come dodo and sleep'
