explanation

"rangehen" vielleicht. Ist aber wirklich unmoeglich zu uebersetzen ohne mehr Kontext.

But here is what it means in US slang:

Gettin Jiggy
verb. Can mean either dancing or putting the move on a member of the opposite sex. Popularized by the Will Smith song "Getting Jiggy With It"

English term (edited): get jiggy

losmachen / einen losmachen / es abgehen lassen

Wie bereits erwähnt lässt sich das ohne mehr Kontext schlecht sagen.

cool/geil werden

Jiggy has tons of different slang meanings, but the overall consensus is that it means "cool" (in an edgy sort of way.)

It can also indirectly imply sex. (Depends on context.)
