goes to

Makes way for

Goes to typically signals movement toward a destination or allocation to a recipient: The money goes to charity, This road goes to the coast.

In casual speech, it can introduce quoted speech, especially among younger speakers: And she goes to me, "Are you serious?"—functioning like "says" but with more attitude or drama.
