Morphology

jiggy + jiggy + time

The phrase's meaning is directly built from 'jiggy' (energetic, ready to dance) plus 'time' (an occasion), with the repeated 'jiggy jiggy' serving as an emphatic/reduplicative intensifier. This compositional pattern (an adjective indicating mood + 'time' for an occasion) is common and predictable, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily infer it denotes a lively, danceable occasion.

Etymology

Jiggy jiggy time may come from the old word jig, a short lively dance, and repeating it as jiggy jiggy makes a playful picture of people dancing and being silly. So the phrase now means 'a lively, enjoyable time', often with dancing.
