What is a "go-around" in this context?

Well, to begin with, I don't even know what is the usual meaning of "go-around". So, if you know, please, explain it to me.

But in this case this noun ("go-around") seems even to be used in a slightly different sense. One user whose name is Chrisnfolsom, while answering my question on the proper way how to describe a woman that isn't able to conceive a baby said in his answer these words:

The joke was not meant to provide answers, but a funny lesson on the complexity of the English language - not that other languages aren't complex. Many lessons are best illustrated through humor - although the underlying lessons of that message can be missed entirely. Thanks for the go-around here; I was able to give my daughter a lesson in the fun and folly of language.

I don't know what he meant here by "go-around" (italics and bold type in the quote are mine). Of course, I could have asked him there this question, but since I don't even know the primary meaning of that word, I think it would be proper to make it as a separate question and not spend his time.

Special request for Chrisnfolsom: If you happen to see this question, please, explain to me what you meant by "go-around" there - no one else knows better than you what you were saying.

Solution 1:

In this context :

The joke was not meant to provide answers, but a funny lesson on the complexity of the English language - not that other languages aren't complex. Many lessons are best illustrated through humor - although the underlying lessons of that message can be missed entirely. Thanks for the go-around here; I was able to give my daughter a lesson in the fun and folly of language.

Go-around is a localized colloquialism, which in this case is referring to the exercise of discussing the topic. However, in a broader sense it means to engage in any personal interaction, or perhaps non-personal in some special circumstances.

It may be acceptable to refer to a squabble or argument as a go-around as much as the process of collaboratively solving a problem.

In the non-personal context, go-around could refer to a difficulty using a computer or some other machine, for example...

I had a proper go-around with this modem, but I still can't get connected at all.

In essence, the person is saying they had to go around the problem a few times before solving or giving up on it.

Hopefully Chrisnfolsom will be able to shine some direct light on the meaning.

Solution 2:

A go-around is an excuse, usually to avoid something, or an argument

In this case however, I think what Chrisnfolsom meant was an excuse/opportunity to teach his daughter about the "fun and folly of language".

(It was a great joke, by the way)
